I have a situation where a company truck (fully depreciated) was sold to an employee, who basically just took over the truck payments, then also charged him for taking over an established route at a trucking company.
The employee ended up quitting and defaulting on the loan. What do I do with the payments I did receive?

what entry did you make at sale? Then we can go from there.

You are dealing with multiple related, but not directly connected transactions.
As the first poster noted - how did the business record the sale of the asset?
Then - how can they transfer title if a lender has a lien on it for the debt without the
lender being notified of the sale? And how about the insurance carrier?
Selling the route is a separate transaction that's a business sale, most likely an
installment sale of goodwill and other intangible assets. Was there legal agreement
signed by both parties?
