Dear list-mates,
<div class=""><br class="">
<div class="">I’m looking for someone practicing in the area of bankruptcy/debt collection to consult a longtime client of mine who wants to explore consequences of bankruptcy as compared to nonpayment of unsecured debt. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">PC bought a motor home from a dealer. When payments became a hardship this spring, PC asked dealer to take the RV on consignment. Dealer made numerous promises to arrange for the consignment throughout the summer but never did. Once the height
of the selling season was over, PC could no longer make payments, so he voluntarily allowed the repossession. The RV was sold at auction for a lot less than the amount owed.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m exploring a consumer protection claim and a claim based on promissory estoppel against the dealer, but would appreciate any input if you have dealt with a similar issue.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In reviewing the credit application made to the dealer, I noted that PC had not signed it. My initial research leads me to believe that this might not be a very fruitful path, but I wonder if anyone could point me to some good authority.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards,</div>
