Amex and Western Union

[Anonymous]

Without going into too much detail, I have excellent credit but a severely financially stressed mother. She is 9 months behind on her mortgage, failed the loan remodification trial period, and her car is about to be repossessed. The charge off balance on her GMC is 3,100. It is worth KBB 24k. I want to pay off the balance and transfer the title to myself in order to prevent liquidation following her unpaid credit cards. The car is her only asset, and as soon as I pay it off creditors will likely garnish it if it remains in her name. How can I used my Amex with 0% interest to pay the 3,100? The debt collectors will only accept WU or Moneygram, whereas she has bounced checks before. But will send a lien release and title on recipient of payment. I have 2,000 in my checking, 12,000 in a Roth, and a paid off IS250. I cannot save her house, but I may be able to save the car. Im willing to trade mothers too.

Western Union doesnt accept AMEX. You have to use Visa, Master or Discover. You can paypal using your AMEX and I have done it atleast 10-15 times this year.. It didnt trigger any FR for me till now.

What's a FR? Also, will Amex recognize this as a cash advance, thus nullifying the 0% APR?

Financial Review.   Amex is notorious for this.

You do not want WU or Moneygram appear anywhere on your AMEX statement. You could take out some money from your Roth and use it as money order to pay off the debt?

And I am almost certain it will be coded as cash advance.

Although that is a possible idea, taking out money from my Roth may hold additional implications. That isn't an option. I can come up with 3,100 in cash, but it will take me a month, and by that time in afraid they will have repossessed it by then. If a vehicle is locked in a garage will they force entry? Or are they limited to open commons?
