When you told them to 'come and get it' that was a voluntary repossession right? Then they sold it, probably at an auction and you then still owed the difference, if any, between what they sold it for and what you still owed. Is that what they sued you for? If that's true, you apparently lost and are being forced to pay back what you owe.
You didn't provide enough details to know for certain this is what it happening but it's a reasonable guess.

This report doesn't make sense.
"Well 11 years later I am being sued for $16,000.00 and they have been taking money from my work checks and now have been cleaning out my bank account. "
Are you being sued, or have you already been successfully sued? The reason I ask is that they can't take money from your paycheck or your bank account unless they already have a judgement against you from a court of law. Neither your employer nor your bank will allow them access to your funds without a court order.
Did you ever receive a court summons? If so, did you go to court?

In 1996 what was the original cost of the car? When you told them to take the car, what did you still owe and stop paying on?
The court house wont call you back about a car. Vehicles are a state thing, in my state it is the Secretary of States office.
