No. They must first obtain a court judgment.

Agreed. The creditor is using a common threat to force you to settle. If you

have any defenses, don't pay and require them to provide information. Regarding

your vehicle, it the vehicle loan is involved, there may be an issue re repossession

but the described tactic to pressure you to settle on their terms should be refused.
