The debtor always has the ability to come up with the past due amount and become current to recover the vehicle, prior to the vehicle being sold at auction. After sale, it's all over.

If you file a Chap. 13, normally, upon proving you have insurance, the debtor is included at the correct amount and correct interest, etc. in the payment plan, they will relinquish the car.

If you file Chap 7, you would need to be able to pay the past due and really, better have a way to pay for it going forward too.

No, you never get to get the car and use it, even while Court matters settle, without paying for it.

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.

Repo then bankruptcy can you get the car back?

Interestingly, in some states, under certain circumstances, yes. However, if the car has already been sold by the ones that repossessed it, (which is very commonly the case), then there is no way.


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.

If you lost the title through foreclosure or abandonment in the bankruptcy, probably not, but it depends on a number of factors. Consult a lawyer in your area.


How does surrendering your house in chapter 7 affect your credit report?

If you are surrendering your house anyways, it is usually better for your credit score if you do it through bankruptcy. If your house is foreclosed on before you file bankruptcy, then your credit score is hit by both the foreclosure and the bankruptcy. If you let your house go back through bankruptcy, instead, then your credit score is only hit by a bankruptcy.


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.

Once you file for bankruptcy, you will probably not get anything back. When you are through, it could all be over. Then they will stop getting anything else from you. You get a clean start.
