You have two tools you can use to dispute a debt: first, a debt validation letter the debt collector is required to send you, outlining the debt and your rights around disputing it; then, a debt verification letter. You can submit a written request to get more information and temporarily halt collection efforts.
You would respond to the court with a general denial of all of the allegations regarding you owing the debt and the actual amount of the debt. What you do is copy the heading on the top of the complaint and then under that you title your document Answer.

Debt collectors cannot repossess your possessions if the debt is unsecured, such as a credit card or student loan. In the case of secured debt, however, particularly auto loans, for which the car is collateral, failure to make payments can result in repossession of the vehicle.
Unless you used the vehicle as collateral for a loan or line of credit and permitted a lien to be placed on the title the debt collection cannot repossess the vehicle. Credit card debt is normally unsecured (meaning there is no collateral), thus they cannot simply claim the vehicle and repossess it.
If they sue and get a judgment against you, it is possible they can take cars and belongings to satisfy the judgment, but there is a legal process for that. The important thing here is to not ignore the issue. If you don't respond, the creditor may get a default judgment that they can attempt to collect.
When it comes to credit card debt relief, it's important to dispel a common misconception: There are no government-sponsored programs specifically designed to eliminate credit card debt. So, you should be wary of any offers claiming to represent such government initiatives, as they may be misleading or fraudulent.
