have a home and car loan through the same bank in the state of Texas. I owe about $11,000.00 on the car which is only worth $3000.00 with over 100,000 miles. The car has about $5000 worth of machincal issues. I can't trade this car in but I can purchase a new car without the trade in but I can't afford to pay two loans. Can the bank placae a lien on my home and force me into foreclosure if I dont pay the note on the old car? And can they garnish my bank accounts? What should I do?

Welcome cbrow,

In order to garnish your wages, the lender would have to file a judgment. As far as I know, the creditor would be able to garnish 25% of your wages at the maximum. The creditor can also go after your bank account, or take any other legal collection action. But I don't think the creditor would be able to place a lien on your property.
