They can sue you; they can get a judgment. They cannot force the sale of your home, but they can get a lien on it that is collectable whenever you do sell it.

If they put the car up for auction, see a consumer lawyer who handles repo cases. More likely than not they will violate the law and you can get some one the money back.
