Do I owe on a voluntary reposession?
I am sorry if I am asking this question in the wrong category. I voluntarily turned in a lease vehicle in August of 2002. (Where I lived at the time, 911 had changed my address and I believe this is why I was not served properly.) They served the summons to an address I never lived at but a relative's. Unfortunately the relative thought they were doing me a favor by NOT telling me about it and ignore it. Nevertheless, I did file a motion to at least vacate the judgment. It is still pending because things went back and forth.
I was about to make arrangements to pay the lawyer handling the case but I'm reading so many things that are telling me to make absolutely sure I do owe. I thought since I turned in the vehicle on my own that that was not considered "defaulted on payments".
Sorry for my lack of knowledge and I apologize once again if I'm in the wrong section.
I appreciate any advice... I live in NY.
This is a wonderful site. Thanks very very much to all of the people taking their time to share their knowledge. It has helped me with a lot of other things.
THANKS!!
The newbie :)
