Two court officers (although only one could provide credentials) approached my home (at this writing, we live in state-subsidized housing) at about 9pm Eastern time June 11. After meeting them at the door I was shown a "Request and Order to seize property" by the younger of the two men, and told that they would forcibly take possession of my 2001 Chevy Impala. After an extended, heated dialogue with myself and my more composed fiance, the police arrived, and immediately demanded I relinquish possession of my car keys, insulting my cooperative fiance several times during the whole frustrating event (asking her if she could read or write-she is an RN!).
As of this writing, I am not even sure WHO has filed this claim against me and to add insult to injury, the car was a GIFT given to me by my aunt 6 months earlier, paid for IN CASH, after the passing of her husband, my uncle, Michael. The only creditors who have any legitimate (?) claim to any money I might owe is for an outstanding phone bill, which was right around $500 as of but the amount claimed in the documentation is roughly $1800! My aunt paid roughly $9000 for my Impala, which is my sole means of transporting myself, and my 14 year old son to any appointments, supporting my family, and maintaining any semblance of a respectable life. How is this morally conscionable or legally enforceable???
