If they file Chapter 7, the boats in the yard can be quickly returned to the owners. If they are torn apart, in the middle of a service, you are out of luck and will have to pay someone else to finish the job. If they have an account started with you, with a balance, the bankruptcy court can attempt to make you pay for the benefit of the trust. Rob - Been there, different circumstances. It depends on what you consider to be "quickly". In many cases a Chapter 7 filing ... voluntary or involuntary ... results in all the assets and property (owned by the business or not) being held until the bankruptcy court plows through all the records. It can take months. I had a similar experience to John's a few years back in Florida. I had a Scout stored at a boat yard storage and repair place. The bank called a note on them and they were forced into Chapter 7. There was no direct notice to those of us with boats at the yard. Similar to John, I became suspicious when I could no longer contact them. I took a ride to the yard only to find it locked up with a steel gate that was padlocked. I sat there for a while in my truck and noticed a van pull up, unlock the gate and pulled into the yard. I quickly pulled up behind him and entered as well. The guy in the van got out and started yelling at me that they were "closed". By this time the situation was clear in my mind, so I pulled my truck around him and backed it up to my boat and trailer. Told him I was taking my boat. He said I couldn't .. they were "bankrupt" and everything in the yard had been frozen by the court. He ran into the building to call somebody. Meanwhile, I noticed that the trailer had a flat tire. Another guy came out and helped me put a little air in the tire and he then got the keys to the van and moved it. Apparently he didn't realize what was going on. I dragged the boat/trailer out of the yard to the nearest gas station to fill up the tire and then headed home. Checked the local "legal notices" for the town and discovered they were in bankruptcy. Never heard from them again. Eisboch That's a scary situation. What would you have done if the police showed up before you split? Nothing? So, you're a cop. What are you going to charge him with? Theft of his own property? Breaking? Nope. Entering? Nope, the gate was open. Trespassing? Nope.... he had a right to be there if he was paid up. These are civil, not criminal issues. The cops *really* don't want to deal with this. Google replevin and detinue. You'll have a much cheaper education in this than mine.... If the police show up, you better be able to prove it's your boat. If you can't immediately, they'll haul your butt in and sort it out there. You can call it civil if you want, but the facts on the ground will be your butt sitting in jail until someone shows up with the pink slip. You tell him, the assholes in rec.boats are too stupid to bring a valid ID and their boat registration. They are all morons. I wonder why you and I hang out with these idiots. Would you like to get together for a beer and whatever? Looks like Bad Jim found a temporary way to skirt people ignoring him. The style is certainly southern Alabama. I suspected it was him, since it must be too much for him to switch back and forth between IDs. Like they say, a piece of work. |

You will spend forever engaged in placating the system and paying obscene amounts to attorneys.... with unpredictable results, at best. When faced with this sort of issue.... a wise individual seeks forgiveness, NOT permission..... I figured possession was nine-tenths and all that. I'd have felt much better getting hassled about cutting the lock off while the boat was in *my* driveway. They would have had the keys, but I could get more made. In this case, they had possession of the boat - not you. Under bankruptcy law, they couldn't keep it for too long. Rob You Sooooooooo don't get it. While they held the boat, John had to sue for possession. Once he had regained possession, they had to perfect a claim on HIS boat..... Maybe you think they could get the DA to arrest John for "stealing" his own property, I think not.... You would think wrong then. Well, I'll qualify that and say the police would for sure make an arrest if there were witnesses. The DA might drop the charges, but I wouldn't want to bet on it. We'll let me assure you this..... having been there? I'll be wrong, take my chances.... and feel very sure that I'll be fine..... Now you see why I can pay no attention to her vacuous, space-cadet responses. -- John H You're just a spineless jerk. You're so afraid of me that you block my posts??? Now, that's funny! John Herring is intimidated by a strong woman. I personally find them exciting. I'm betting your girl friend is Rosy and her five sisters. Any woman who'd go near you must be strong, smelling. |
