Mate of mine 7 years ago went bankrupt and had his house repossed.
Life continued. He's back up on his feet, working hard and enjoying life.
And then, a few months ago a knock at the door. It was one of those people like heir hunters on tv.
There was no dead relative. But in fact his old mortgage company was trying to track him down. As after the repossession the house was sold and even after all the fees and crap there was a substantial 5 figure sum left over.
This is now my mates. Or so he hopes.
He's confirmed his ID, but now it just needs to go to the district judge to be released.
The question is this. Would the old creditors from the bankruptcy have a claim to this and if they did, how would they know.
Should he get legal advice.
Anyone got any ideas
