Repossession of truck?

Question

Our truck was repossessed a while back and we have already seen a lawyer to go bankrupt because of other things to. A collector called today about the truck and said she already has his social security number and where he works and all but if I "re-tell" her the information she will put a hold on the account. The first question was "where does he work?" i told her i wasnt answering anything because I thought she was bluffing. What do you guys think?

Answer 1

If you're declaring bankruptcy, don't talk to anyone who calls period.  Let the lawyer handle everything.  

And the way you describe that call makes it sound like someone was trying to obtain your personal information.  Anyone calling you wouldn't want you to "re-tell" them anything.  Besides, anyone legitimate wouldn't use that kind of language either.  They would probably be more professional and ask you to "confirm" some information but that's doubtful also.

Answer 2

dont answer anything,,, you should always ask for a call back number for everything that asks you for personal information.. ask them to send you a letter in the mail or anything to prove everything... you want a paper trail just in case it is fraud... ask your lawyer to take care of everything as the debtors will do whatever they can to get the most money out of you.
