CHICAGO (CN) - A man claims a loan company destroyed his marriage through "sexual-scandal blackmail," by leaving a phone message - which his wife heard - that another woman had been making his car payments. When he protested, he says, the lender's agent told him, "Now we know a pressure point to use on you."

Pillow says the defendants were "utterly out of bounds in their right to search or otherwise locate collateral" - the car - which it knew it could find at his home.
He claims: "Defendants' conduct amounts to nothing less that sexual-scandal blackmail."
He says he does not dispute their right to the car, which he gave up before suing.
He seeks damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

#1 - Fri Dec 2, 2011 8:45 AM ESTLesson learned....don't borrow money from unscrupulous lenders. Secondly, telling the guy about his "on the side" girlfriend was incredibly stupid. It was dumb of him to be cheating on his wife and he was risking his marriage even before the lender got looped into his dirty little secret. But, why share that info to begin with? As long as the car loan was being paid, it didn't matter (to the lender) who was footing the bill. Lastly, don't borrow more money than you can pay back & try to have a Plan B should you lose your job. I would have taken a job at McDonalds before losing my transportation or home. Don't blame his wife for leaving though. Sounds like karma has caught up with the guy.
