| How much was the bill? Try to reach a deal with them to pay it off. |

Hi Ishephard,
You must request the court to allow you some time to validate the debt. You should explain to the judge that you did not receive the court summons, when the lawsuit was filed against you. I don't think a collection agency (CA) can seize your car to pay off a debt amount, which is lesser than what the car is worth. It is possible that the court will ask the CA to return your car.
You can try to work out a repayment plan with the CA. In most cases, CAs accept payment offers, as they also want to avoid going to court.
