The Court denied the Debtor's objections and allowed two claims filed by the creditor, one arising from the purchase of a vehicle and the second from a renewal of a debt consolidation loan. The Court allowed the first claim because the vehicle was not unlawfully repossessed but rather picked up by a towing company after being abandoned, and because the Georgia Court of Appeals decision, Suntrust Ban v. Venable, 299 Ga. 655, 791 S.E.2d 5 (2016), did not apply to the fact of this case. Venale involved a sale transaction whereas the underlying transaction here was only a finance transaction. The Court also allowed the second claim because the Debtor had two loans, the original and renewal, rather than one as alleged in the objection.
