Upper Nyack, NY Bankruptcy Law Firms & Lawyers

If the car is legally your father's (the title is in his name) and your father had pre-paid him for the work, your dad can go drive the car home. If he had not paid for the work, then your dad shouldn't do that or there is a crime called "removing personal property under lien" and your dad could get in hot water. If the guy had not done anything to the car, and the amount of money your dad gave this guy was under $5,000, then your dad can sue him in small claims court, and doesn't need a lawyer, in order to try to get his money back.

You must list all assets and all debts in any bankruptcy case.  A failure to do so is grounds for denial of your discharge and, in egregious cases, criminal prosecution. I'm not completely sure what you mean by "put...on my bankruptcy".  If you're asking whether or not certain loans are dischargeable, that depends on the time of loan and how it was incurred. Debts incurred through fraud are not dischargeable in bankruptcy, as an example. However, most loans if not incurred through fraud or misrepresentation, are dischargeable in bankruptcy, including pay day loans (if that's what a one-day loan is).
