Question:  

I have been bankrupt. Can a person (my ex wife) sue me for a car loan that she had to pay, that was in both of our names, but was my car? The car was repo'd but the remaining balance after it was sold was $6,000.00, my ex paid it. Since she is a person and not a company, can she do that and win?

Answer:   If the vehicle loan was part of your bankruptcy and the vehicle was seized either before or during the bankruptcy, then your ex-wife cannot sue you for the deficiency she was required to pay. She is an unsecured creditor in your bankruptcy. I'd suggest you contact your Trustee for clarification and to advise them that she is suing you.
