I had an auto repossession from Capital One with a reported $12,735 deficiency balance. Â I’d like to work something out with them, but after reading about the SOL and waking these guys up, I want to get some advice before I take any action.
Â
The DOFD was 06/2008, and from what I’m reading that’s when the California 4 year SOL clock starts.  Is that accurate?  Also, I don’t exactly have the 13K laying around so I wouldn’t be able to PIF and would have to set up some sort of monthly payment arrangement.  Anyone have any experience with Capital One’s willingness to do this for a balance that high?
Â
Would it be best to completely leave this alone and see I can hold out until the SOL? Â It’s no fun having that potential lawsuit hanging over my head, and I’d like to hear any suggestions.
Â
Thanks in advance!
