Bump C&P: filing bankruptcy over speeding tickets
I'm not one to judge someone for filing bankruptcy but I can't get over how she seems to think her H's behavior is no big deal.

If my H forced our family into bankruptcy because he liked to show off his "sweet truck"...I can't even begin.
Re: Bump C&P: filing bankruptcy over speeding tickets
Am I reading that correctly that she needs to file or they will take her living room set? I question her priorities.
I think you are right. I had trouble getting past "after his third citation for driving without a license..."
I don't think they're criminal fines - I got the impression that they're the cost of fees associated with impounding the vehicle for the last 18 months.
OMFG.
I call bulllshittt on this:
Well fast forward to 2 weeks ago, we get a letter in the mail; we must appear in court to pay the now 11,000 something we now owe because the bank never went to go get the truck, and never sent us anything about it, or contacted us to tell us they weren't going to get it. So now they are garnishing DH's wages for $519 a month. which means we would have to give up our SUV and our entire living room set, and choose between tv or internet to afford that payment.
They were probably mailing letters and calling for months and months and months.
Why does one have to speed in order to show off their "sweet" truck? Wouldn't slow rolling through the neighborhood give one more opportunities to be a gloating douche?
Also, depending on their definition of "sweet" I'm hard pressed to believe it's the speeding tickets and not the truck itself that is a huge contributor to the bankruptcy.
Click me, click me!
LOL. Several minutes later I'm still laughing at this.
My guess would be they are doing the lease or rent to own deal on the furniture... so they wouldn't be able to make that monthly payment, the monthly payment on the SUV, the monthly payment on the internet or cable. yada yada yada
I bet money their living room set is from rentacenter.
Click me, click me!

Ah, good point.
Also, I'm pretty sure it takes longer than 2 weeks to start garnishing someone's wages. There's no way they didn't know anything about this before 2 weeks ago. What did they think happened to the truck? Were they making payments on it or did they think it and the loan on it just disappeared?
Oh you know it. One of the most entertaining days at out old house was when RAC showed up to repo and the bats came out.
ETA: Also, bet you anything he never got a new license when he moved so all the paperwork was going to the old address. My CW just realized yesterday that her license was expired, and got all righteous because they 'didn't send her anything'.
oh she definately has a little Rainbow in her life.. (old school..anyone? anyone?)
The truck is in impound, they thought the bank repo'd it from impound. The $11k is impound fees. Right?
If the truck has been seized by the state for use in the commission of a felony, can the bank even go and reclaim it? I don't think they can. I think the state can just sell it of.
I think he told the bank he wasn't going to pay anymore and to *** themselves. Then told her he took care of it. Then went and got himself an SUV.
But even when the bank repo's your car, you still have to settle your loan (I doubt the truck was worth more than the outstanding balance). Did they think it just disappeared?
I am with ESF - I think the husband (boyfriend?) lied to her and has been hiding it for who knows how long.
It's not clear but I thought the $11k is for them not paying the bank for the truck.
But now that I think about it, if the truck was really that sweet, they must have owed more than $11k on it.
I'm sure she doesn't even know or understand.
No, they thought the bank had the truck. The bank does not have the truck. The truck is still in impound and there is an additional $11k now due to the state.
ETA: Yes, I'm sure the truck was that sweet. :::gigglesnort:::
OK yes, this is probably it. Maybe the bank did repo it, but since he was upside down $11k, that's what they went to collect.
I'm trying to figure that out. It's very unclear.
They have to be married. she said "we" are filing for BK and referred to him as "DH"
I read her bio and she referred to him as BF. I made this mistake so blame me if they are married.
He had to show off his 'sweet truck'? I know guys that did this. You know. In high school.
Whoever suggested she file for divorce was spot on. This guy sounds like a total loser.
I totally want to be there when the bankruptcy judge asks them why they are filing.
"DH wanted to parade around in his sweet truck."
DENIED.
They can sell it at an auction. DH has seen people come and buy back their own property.
I've only just started reading but my impression is the 11k is owed to the bank for the truck -I think they just stopped making their payments and it probably includes interest etc etc. And in response to whoever said the 11k probably isn't for the truck if it is "sweet" - in my experience if someone has to describe their vehicle as sweet, it probably really isn't.
