Hypothetically. It is not murder to kill an animal, unless endangered. So killing a canary, wolf or non-human species is not murder?

The debt is from “Lending Club” but a different company is suing her for that debt. Since she filed bankruptcy in 2016 and it’s been so long since then, can they even legally sue her?

By the way, did she have a lawyer for her bankruptcy? If so, make an appointment and go back for advice.
If it is subject to the discharge the lawyer can file for contempt and... Read more »

What you need is a good lawyer. It certainly appears that you have not used one to this point, perhaps even in the divorce.
The old saying "a pence of prevention is worth a pound of cure" surely appears to apply to you.
There really is no way a lawyer on a site such as... Read more »

You can sue the bastard!
But where?
You need the advice of an international litigator to determine where jurisdiction and venue may lie, and then the cause of action that you can assert.

What is the subject of the outstanding warrant?
Bankruptcy does not address criminal matters, so I don't see the connection.
Go see a local bankruptcy lawyer for assistance and explanation
They want me to set up payment or go to court. I can’t go to court it’s 7 hours away can’t take off of work. Is there anything I can do or can I just ignore it?

Talk to a bankruptcy lawyer in your community to help you evaluate your options.
