What is the name of your state? Ga.
***I am posting this for a friend who asked me the below question. I had no suggestions to give her. It was foolish for her to give her green card as collateral for a loan repayment. When I say I, I am actually talking about her. I will copy and paste any replies that I get and text them to her.
I did not know where else to post this question so I am posting here. It is an unusual type question I will admit but anyway, here goes. I was stupid. I needed to borrow $1000 and I voluntarily gave my green card, SS card, and bank card to the person I borrowed the money from to hold as collateral to ensure I would pay back the money. I should not have done this. I could not repay the money and now this person is telling me that he will not give me my things back until I pay him as promised. Can I get my sheriff to force him to give me these things back? He claims he has misplaced them and will not bother searching for them unless I pay him as agreed. He also had me sign a promissory note. Do I have any recourse? He did loan me the money but I am in debt up to my eyeballs and I was desperate. He is threatening to take me to small claims court. Any advice would be appreciated.
