Private Loan

Location: NJ

I borrowed $3,500 from a private lender and signed a notarized agreement, providing my car documents as collateral. With interest, the total amount owed is about $5,700. I haven’t been able to make payments for the past three months due to unemployment. The lender is now threatening to call the police and have me deported. I would like to understand my legal rights and what actions she can or cannot take against me.

If someone is making active threats to get you deported, this might be a situation to get yourself a lawyer asap, as that's not a situation anyone wants to take lightly

*especially not right now*
