Repo man glitch while at work

I just encountered a similar problem. My sims hadn't paid their bills, and so got the notification about the repo man. It put the game in a "no save" state, saying that the repo man was actively repossessing. I paid the bills quickly, but it didn't reset itself, AND the repo man didn't show up, leaving it in a state of limbo. I also had to quit the game without saving and go back in.
