The creditor would have problems enforcing a lien if the debt was included in the bankruptcy. If they were paid off, investigate further. If they were not included, then the lien may be valid.
There is something amiss here, a debt that is discharged in bankruptcy is no longer collectible. Therefore a lawsuit could not be filed and won nor a judgment awarded to the plaintiff pertaining to such a debt. The involved party should contact the attorney that handled the bankruptcy and have the judgment voided if it is indeed invalid. It would be advisable to acertain if the debt was discharged rather than excluded from the bankruptcy or perhaps sold previous to the filing of the petition.
Sure...it doesn't change the rights of the creditor...or your obligations as a dedtor...the buyer probably paid very little and is hoping your BK will pay the debt off at a higher amount. Basically, a creditor may sell his rights at any time....it is does not change your obligation under the loan at all. To clarify, it does not mean the new creditor can disregard the bankruptcy and any bar on collection activities that may be in force just because they just bought the debt. They only get the rights to what you would have paid the original creditor in the bankruptcy - they "step into the shoes" of the one they bought from.
Yes. I foreclosed on a home and bought another one cash before being discharged from bankruptcy. I was told by the attorney that creditors can ask the courts and the court will confiscate your purchased product and sell for whatever amount and that amount will be given to the creditor(s).
What state is it titled in?
More than likely. Three years is not long enough for an SOL to expire. What probably happened was, the account was bought from the creditor, which is common practice. The BK of the original creditor, has no relevancy if the debt was sold.
The debtor is served a civil summons to appear the lawsuit hearing. If the debtor does not appear he or she loses the case by default and a judgment is entered in favor of the plaintiff 9creditor). If the debtor does appear and loses the case which is the normal scenario, a judgment is still entered in favor of the creditor. The creditor can then use the judgment to garnish wages or take action against other real and/or personal propety belonging to the debtor.
You don't file a lawsuit. You get your money back or you get the product exchanged for one without defect, and that's about it.
All states have a set of exemptions that can be used by the debtor to protect specific types and amounts of real and personal property in a bankruptcy or lawsuit action. Creditors rarely use a lawsuit judgment to seize personal property such as household goods exempt or not, the process is just not worth the effort. The exception is if the property is collateral for the debt, for example a big screen TV bought on a merchant account such as Sears. In bankruptcy the decision is made by how the trustee chooses to determine the status of such property under the state and/or federal exemptions.
yes

If you are in default on an account that a third party/person bought, yes indeed, the new owner can foreclose on you and sue.
