Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I sent the following correpsondence to Toyota MotorTo Whom It May Concern : I recently received correspondence indicating that I am being sued by Toyota Motor. I am writing this letter to inform those involved of the circumstances surrounding my account falling delinquent. After the birth of my child in XXXX XXXX I was deemed permanently XXXX due to complications with XXXX and XXXX XXXX. After several attempts to return to work full time, I was awarded monthly XXXX XXXX benefits in the amount of roughly XXXX a month. Since I was not qualified for XXXX until XXXX years after date of XXXX, I had to pay XXXX a month for my XXXX a month out of pocket. In XXXX, I was awarded XXXX however I had to buy additional insurance to cover this therapy. Luckily, I started attending XXXX University in XXXX, which offered insurance with out of pocket cost of XXXX every XXXX months. Yet still my prescription plan does not cover my XXXX at full price. In XXXX XXXX, before I started my therapies, I was hospitalized XXXX times for XXXX complication, and essentially caused me to lose my part time job the last time. My XXXX income helps me take care of my XXXX year- old, purchase my medications, childcare, food, bus fees for school travel, rent and utilities. I do not qualify for any assistance at all because of my XXXX allotment, with the exception of childcare assistance for school that covers only half my son 's tuition. I also had XXXX from XXXX to XXXX due to my sister 's inability to care for her at that time. In order for me to take care of my son and myself I needed my car. I was put in an awful position when Toyota repossessed my car even after I explained my situation. I even attempted to pay the XXXX late car payments the day my car was repossessed but no one would speak to me. I was told Toyota Financial did not want my business anymore because my payments were late. Recently my son 's father passed away, leaving me responsible for all expenses related to him as well. My circumstances are not typically, It was a risk I to accept a loan from Toyota financial however I did not think I would be facing the health crisis I am in now. I certainly did n't expect to be XXXX today and not physically capable of working full time. I am willing to pay Toyota the amount owed to them minus the interest and late fees. I only ask that I am given a logical amount of time to accrue the money given the circumstances. I have can supply my XXXX award letter if necessary. 
Regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX I went to court, and agreed to a consent judgement in the amount of {$8000.00}. I was told since I was not contesting the debt that I could pay it back if and when I was able to earn substanial gainful income. I was also told from the attorney representing the XXXX and XXXX that, he understood my hardship and even with this judgement my XXXX XXXX and Federal Student loan money were protected from garnishment. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I checked my account to find that monies I transfered from checking to savings to distinguish between XXXX and book money for summer class was on hold. When contacting the Toyota and questioning why I was never notified of the levy, I was told by XXXX XXXX, " they did not have to let me know they were levying my account '' and I would need to wait to hear from them to get the levy removed. I called XXXX County court, they told me to contact the lawyers office again, as they could not hold federal funds by law. Prior to this I spoke to XXXX XXXX, and told her I could continue to submit documentation that my only income is XXXX however she said they will continue to try to collect. Now I have a levy on my account that is causing me more XXXX than needed.
