READ YOUR CONTRACT. In very few circumstances will you NOT be responsible for the balance due after the collateral has been sold. Very few, in most cases you will pay the difference between what the car sells for and the balance due. If you file bankruptcy you are NOT responsible for one dime and the lender can make no attempts to collect once the debt has been discharged.
