Sue you brother that just filed bankruptcy? Good luck with that.

The only way you have a claim to the vehicle is if you two had your name added to the loan paperwork. If you made payments to the lender with a check, you might be abe to swing a deal with them without your brother's name by showing you were able to amke proper and timely payments. A lender would rather have the money then the truck but honestly the only thing you can so now is chalk it up to experience or short sheet your brother's bed.

The real problem here is that he will be allowed to keep the truck if filing chapter 13. He will still have to pay it but it will be alot less. You may have to see how this plays out and then sue him for ownership of the truck.. This is a good one. he let you pay most then he files bankruptcy on the rest.. Under chapter 13 he would be paying much smaller amounts.

That's the problem with deals like this and rent to own, and partnerships.. so many ways it can go wrong and be left with no repercussions. Wish you luck, but it is likely you will lose the truck and all of the money you had put into it.

Your brother wouldn't be allowed to give the truck debt preferential treatment and be left out of his bankruptcy filing. Now you know that when you are buying a vehicle, you should get your own loan and not simply assume someone else's. Don't pay for things you don't have a legal standing in.
