Question:   Could you please tell me when a bank is allowed to contact someone after they have declared, in order to assertain their intentions concerning a vehicle that was used as partial security for a loan which is part of the bankruptcy? I was led to beleive they were not allowed to contact the bankrupty until they had filed their proof of claim and the trustee had responded to them with their proof of receipt. Is this accurate?

There is no law which would preclude a bank from calling you regarding your vehicle. However, you will not be in a position to deal with the bank until after the Trustee has released their interest in the vehicle.
