My mother took out 5 loans when she needed them the most. .. u know., those fast cash payday type loans, 2 in town and 3 online. She originally owed 1500 but now owes 2500 due to interest (if u add all the loans up). Now here is her situation: she became gravely ill in 2004 and had to quit work and due to major major (organ transplant ) issues and issues that have almost taken her life several times SINCE the transplant, she can no longer work and is on social security disability. Due to the horrible medical situation she was in for literally years where she spent the better part of two years in a hospital, she had to file bankruptcy 3 years ago. She also lives with my grandmother and they share a bank account (moms SSD and gramdma's retirement she recieves each month. Now I have two major questions here: (1) what can they do to my mom? they can't jail her or anything can they?? or take away what she owns ? (she doesn't own a home just rents, she does own an old car. (10 plus yrs old) She said they never asked her to put up any kind of collateral what so ever... on these loans. Just gave them her checking acct information.She absolutly could NOT survive in jail., no way whatsoever. Also, can they take my grandma's money? They do share an account but my grandma's name is NO where on any loans at all. She had nothing to do with the loans. She is elderly and needs her money for HER own meds and needs. I am so very worried for my mom. Please help -
