Better is not the best word, but a chapter 7 could wipe out the car debt and your other debt. If you just to the repo - they can still come after you for the 4500 dollar difference if they sell it for only 4k (most likely it will be sold for 2k or so) which would make the debt higher. Both will hurt your credit so if you are going to take the hit, I recommend you get rid of all of the debt and have some money to pay for things you need. Of course going bankrupt takes money too! Bankruptcy means that you will lose your home, as does repossession. The only way to stop either is to start repaying your debts and there are many financial solutions companies out there which could help. If you have mortgage arrears then speak to your mortgage lender ASAP, you may be able to come up with a repayment plan to repay your mortgage arrears along with your future mortgage payments. It is always important that you take action sooner rather than later so that your bankruptcy or repossession can be stopped.

As an unknown individual at the Doney & Associates law firm surmised, "there is no real Chapter 20, but we bankruptcy attorneys amuse ourselves by proving that we can add." A Chapter 20 is when you file a Chapter 13 right after a Chapter 7. One reason some people do this is because you cannot stop a home foreclosure with a Chapter 7, but you cannot file a Chapter 13 if your unsecured debt exceeds a certain dollar amount. So, if someone's home is being foreclosed but their unsecured debt amount exceeds the limit for a Chapter 13, those persons may file a Chapter 7 and wipe out the unsecured debt, then file a Chapter 13 and stop the home foreclosure. Some Courts frown on Chapter 20's since they see it as an unfair manipulation of the bankruptcy code.
most taxes, child support, student loans and criminal fines
No. Child support and government backed student loans are 2 of the (not many) obligations that are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. Of course, getting rid of other debts you have should make these easier to pay.
According to my Spanish teacher, student loans are the only things that cannot be "wiped out" by declaring bankruptcy. She told us that the government will continue to reach into your bank accounts until that money is payed off.
No. It only protects you (financially speaking) from your creditors - NOT from the court. ALSO: Bankruptcy does not wipe out, or excuse, court ordered payments that were in effect prior to the bankruptcy filing.
This would be best answered by a good bankruptcy attorney who knows Arizona law. I believe no matter what you do bankruptcy or not, they will get the car, it does not wipe your credit clean.
Your credit history is exactly that... a history. Paying off your debts is certainly beneficial, but it won't immediately and completely wipe out any prior dings.
éponger - to soak up, to wipe with a sponge - there's also - éponger les dettes which means to pay back someone's debts (wipe the slate clean)
If you are sued and a creditor gets a judgment against you, you may be able to discharge your personal liability on that judgment in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This will depend on whether the underlying debt is dischargeable (meaning you can wipe it out in bankruptcy) or nondischargeable.
I'm not an attorney, but I seriously doubt it. What sense would that make?
