repo, bad debt, need some answers.

I guess I'm not really understanding your question. Are you wanting collateral for a loan to pay off debt? If that's the case, then, YES, I've done this. The payments or non-payment of the loan would go on the credit report. Other than that, I haven't any idea how to answer you.
you need to be a little more specific, I used my car as collateral and then was laid off, I lost my car. Luckily I'm debt free after 5 years and don't have to use collateral anymore. www.creditinfocenter.com
