Your best option would be to see an attorney as there is a possibility that the transaction should, or may be allowed to go forward if the seller agrees regardless of their filing bankruptcy.

Can an attorney notify my employer that I am being brought to court?

Answered by attorney Daniel A. Edelman
Bankruptcy lawyer at Edelman, Combs, Latturner & Goodwin, LLC
1. Online loans by unlicensed lenders to Illinois residents are illegal and unenforceable. You are under no obligation to repay anything even if you got such a loan. To determine whether a lender is unlicensed contact the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation by phone or through its web site. There is a license lookup on the web site. A lender needs a payday lending or consumer installment lending license. If they don't have one even a loan that was made is unenforceable. 2. Failure to repay even a lawful loan is not fraud or any other crime, and you cannot be arrested. 3. It is highly unlikely that the person calling you is an attorney. Most collection attorneys will send you a letter identifying themselves and providing an address. Ask for the person's full name, address, where they are admitted, and bar number. 4. It is not legal to contact an employer unless they first have a judgment which can be enforced against your wages. 5. It is not legal for any debt collector to inform third parties such as coworkers about a debt. 6. There are numerous scammers trying to con people out of money by making calls of the sort you described. Report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission, state Attorney General, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If they get enough complaints they will take action against the offender if they can find them (many are not even in the US). Provide no information and pay no money.

Can my late husband's creditors take the truck to pay towards his debts owed to them?

Answered by attorney Daniel A. Edelman
Bankruptcy lawyer at Edelman, Combs, Latturner & Goodwin, LLC
The creditor who had issued the credit life policy should be paid by that policy. If the truck was titled to your late husband only and passes into his estate, his creditors can have it sold to pay their debts. If it was held in joint tenancy with you as the joint tenant, it does not pass into his estate and it would be very difficult or impossible for them to reach it.
