Unless the accident was the result of driving under the influence the debt would be discharged in bankruptcy.

What can I do if the soverign bank collected on my discharged debt for those years?

It's not so simple. Was the "over $100,000.00" you paid to the bank paid before you surrendered the home? If so, the bank can consider it "rent" or a payment in lieu of posting the property for foreclosure. Also, if you paid the monies prior to 2008, you don't have a cause of action as the statute of limitations has expired. Did you voluntarily give the bank money? If so, and you continued to live in the property, I don't believe you will find a judge that would order the bank to refund the money to you.

Once a creditor obtains a judgment, they can utilize the services of local law enforcement to take money & property from you by wage garnishment, bank account attachment, liening any real estate you own, and taking property not protected under state laws called exemptions. If you can qualify to file bankruptcy, you can eliminate this debt in bankruptcy, but if the creditor has recorded a lien on any of your real estate, a supplemental proceeding will be necessary to remove that lien. As you are finding out, the divorce court can say one thing, but if the person you married is irresponsible, you can be stuck holding the bag. IMHO, anyone thinking about getting married ought to think twice and have an investigator check out the financial background of the intended.
