In Texas, can a credit card company seize a car for a delinquent debt? What judgment could result in seizure?

card company has compounded fees until the payment--which has tripled, even though it's been on time--actually results in an increasing balance.

I honor my debts, but this has broken me financially. Can they seize my car. I have other bills and pay them. If the company had been ethical in its fee-structure, I would gladly have paid them until the balance was zero.

    Jay is incorrect. In TX, your wages CANNOT be garnished.

    Often times if you tell the credit card, or any debtor, your situation, they will work with you or even give you a reduced payoff figure. Also, as long as you are making the minimum payment, they can't do anything. Don't just stop paying them.

    If the car was collateral for the credit card, they can seize it. They CANNOT, however, repossess assets they didn't help finance. They CAN garnish your wages.

    They can only take your car if you used it as security to get the card, otherwise they can't touch it.
