The short story; By the time the recession hit I was on my 5th Ford truck. Called Ford Motor credit three times to try and work out the loan so I could keep the truck. Didn't want a deal, just some time, lower payments, extend the loan etc, etc.
No go. So I surrender the truck. A few months pass and I receive a bill for $1800. The difference they claim I owed them as the truck as it did not sell for enough to satisfy the loan balance. Can't and will not pay it. Next they they send it to their (I believe in house law office). Bill now $2400. Next they place lien on my home. Next they place a lien on my checking accounts. Finally they get a court order to have my own company garnish my wages for the now due $3750.
A proud American self employed blue collar worker who is raising a family proud to drive an American made truck, no more.
I am shocked and amazed at how Ford has handled the matter. After watching this country crumble, and witnessing first hand how hard working Americans are being treated I have to say I am no longer a proud American, but rather a man on a mission to survive and play by the new rules as needed to feed my family. Rules made by me half the time. I could on and on.

You flushed your credit

Loan sharking is a term that refers to extremely high interest loans. You never mentioned the interest rate. Ford Credit was under no obligation to honor your request to alter the terms of the loan agreement. You retaliated by refusing to honor the terms of the agreement.
"After watching this country crumble"
Look again, that's your credit that crumbled.

- You didn't want a deal? Well that is exactly what asking for lower payments, extending the loan or what ever you consider "etc" is.
A few months pass and I receive a bill for $1800. The difference they claim I owed them as the truck as it did not sell for enough to satisfy the loan balance. Can't and will not pay it. Next they they send it to their (I believe in house law office). Bill now $2400. Next they place
lien on my home. Next they place a lien on my checking accounts. Finally they get a court order to have my own company garnish my wages for the now due $3750.
- There sounds like there is a lot of information you are leaving out. One question is were you ever served a summons to go to court, and if you were did you go? Perhaps this letter from the law office was actually a court summons? How much time passed between the car being repossessed(yes even if you turn it in it still goes down as a repossession).
The reason about the summons is important because to get a court order to do everything you said they did, they would have had to sue you. If you were never properly served with a summons you may have legal grounds to have the suit vacated(basically cancelled) and all of the garnishment orders cancelled until you are able to have the court hearing. Now, if you were served and just decided to not show up..well then everything they are doing is legal and a direct result of you ignoring it. Where I am sure you don't need to be reminded of this but if there is a valid court order and you do not garnish your own wages you(as in the company) could be in serious trouble with the courts.
