Only if the car has not been sold, at auction usually. Some states require notice of the repossession and intended sale date. Consult a local bankruptcy attorney if you have filed pro se or pro per (without a lawyer), or your state Attorney General's office.

How can you get a repossessed car back without paying off the debt in full?

You must get the finance company to agree to terms. You can't get the car back by any means other than getting the finance company to agree to something. You do have a certain # of days to pay it off in full, but after than and other than that, it's their car. I filed bankruptcy, Chp 13, 2days after my vehicle was repossessed earlier this week.My atty has promised my vehicle back to me within 3-4 days and is currently having those arrangmnts made., however I must drive to Atlanta from Macon to pick it up myself..Read up on filing Ch 13, especlly if you have alot of other dept.Its not as bad as it sounds. keep on kidding yourself...ANY BANKRUPTCY is bad Re: Bankruptcy. Unfortunately, since they recently revised the bankruptcy laws, bankruptcy may no longer be available to you.


If your car has been repossessed and you have not yet filed bankruptcy can you still be eligible to get the car back after you file?

If the car is gone, the car is gone. The car would only be covered in BK if you still had it. If you file Chapter 13 bankruptcy within 10 days of your car being repossessed, or in some states before it has been sold or auctioned, your creditor must return the vehicle to you.


If you filed bankruptcy in Illinois and have not made a car payment this month but notified the bank of the bankruptcy will the car be repossessed or will you be notified to return it?

If you are not going to reafirm the loan, in other words- keep and pay for the car, then yes the bank will want the car back. Usually they will try to get the car back shortly after your 1st court date when the court has oked your petition to go thru bankruptcy.


Is it better to declare bankruptcy or have your car repossessed?

BK only stops the repo process until the BK is discharged. BK does not mean you can keep the car without paying for it. My opinion? Give the car back.


The Two Major Corporate Bankruptcy Filings?

Just like people, sometimes a corporation accrues more debt than it actually has the ability to pay back. When this occurs, a corporation sometimes declares bankruptcy. However, corporations do not always use the same kinds of bankruptcy that individuals use. The two most common corporate bankruptcy filings are Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Chapter 7, which can also be used by individuals, is for businesses that are giving up entirely. If a company declares Chapter 7 bankruptcy, that company will cease operations immediately. At that point, legal ownership of the company is transferred to the bankruptcy court. When ownership of the company is transferred to the court, a lawyer will be appointed by the court to oversee the rest of the bankruptcy. This will include overseeing the closing of that corporation's facilities. It will also include a liquidation of the company's assets. The assets will be sold, and the proceeds of those sales will be used to pay back creditors that are owed money by the company. Chapter 11 bankruptcy, not used by individuals, is a bit different. Instead of the business being closed, the business is allowed operate normally during the bankruptcy. The goal of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the restructuring of the corporation so it can be profitable once again. There is also another potential benefit from this kind of corporate bankruptcy. All or a good portion of the company's previous debts and other obligations may be absolved. This is due to the fact that the goal of Chapter 11 bankruptcy is reorganization. Debt or other obligations that would force a company to go out of business may be removed to help that occur. Obligations other than debt that may be set aside by the court can vary. Usually this includes things such as agreements with unions on employee pensions and benefits, leases for real estate and other expensive contracts. However, even if a corporation attempts to enter Chapter 11 bankruptcy, there is still a risk that the company may be liquidated as part of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This can occur if a plan is not agreed upon by the corporation, its creditors and the court. If this happens, the only remaining options are either entering Chapter 7 or returning back to the company's pre-bankruptcy state. Since the company entered bankruptcy because survival without reorganization was unlikely, both choices are rather undesirable.
