my late husband took finance for a car two months before he suddenly passed away. Now the company are pressing me for full payment of the loan. I was told that because it was an unsecured loan, the debt dies with my husband. The company are now trying to claim off my husbands estate but he died without leaving a will and did have enough assets to go to probate so probate has not been asked for. Does anyone know my position on this?

Its worth checking the loan agreement .
Generally the creditor will not pursue unless you jointly owned a property with the deceased and a mortgage exists. Its up to them if they wish to continue chasing but you also have a choice to stand your ground. Whatever you do dont pay them out of your own funds. They will soon tire of chasing but as you were not part of the original contract they can not make you pay....although they may try to frighten you into thinking so

If you don't file an estate, they will continue to try and collect from you and may enter into suit forcing a probate decision (depending on the state you live in). Creditors claims against a dead person belong to the probate court to resolve.
