How do I get money back from an ex-boyfriend that I loaned to him to purchase a vehicle? He has recently filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but is working.

More details to this question:
I loaned my ex $14,500 to purchase a truck, he needed a large down payment because his credit is so bad. He was not able to get truck without down payment. This was April 5 2019, I have received $1500 cash from him since then. He has told me he would pay me back. We are not together. What do I need to do to get him to re-pay me?

If the bankruptcy goes through, his debt to you will (assuming it is listed in his bankruptcy petition and absent fraud or some other exception to discharge not apparent from your question) be discharged, and you will neer be paid. You need to fight the bankruptcy, perhaps by showing that your ex does not meet the criteria for bankruptcy for a chapter 7, but rather is sorking and has hte money to pay his debts.
