You financed the car through the credit union, huh? I can't think of any other reason why they would have the title. They will probably repossess the car. They want to sell the car to get back some of the money you owe.

How credit union collect bankruptcy loan that discharged?

If a loan from a credit union has been discharged in bankruptcy court, that credit union cannot collect and must write the loan off.


What if you filed for chapter 7 then your car that you owes from a credit union was totaled and you buy it back from them will the court dismiss your line of credit with that credit union?

No. You probably didn't include the car loan in the bankruptcy (if you did you wouldn't have the car anymore). If debt wasn't included in the bankruptcy you still owe it. Was the car insured? Usually if there's a loan on it the loan holder requires full coverage insurance. I'm not sure what the line of credit has to do with the car.... but if that line of credit account number was included in the bankruptcy it will/was discharged.


What will your credit score be after bankruptcy is discharged?

It depends on what your credit score was before your filed bankruptcy. If your credit score was low before your filed bankruptcy, then after your bankruptcy is discharged, if you send a copy of your Schedules and Discharges records to all three credit bureaus; Trans Union, Experian and Equifax and ask them to zero out all the past due balances now that you do not owe them anymore then your credit score will more than likely be higher than before you filed. Also, your bankruptcy filing is picked up under the Public Records section of your credit report, however, after 12 months the scoring models do not pick up the bankruptcy anymore so it does not effect your score. It is visible on your report for 10 years after a chapter 7 and 7 years after a chapter 13, but not in your score. It is a good idea to open up an account after your bankruptcy discharges so your scores will continue to go up. If you open a credit card, just make sure you do not go over 30% of the limit, and pay it off every month.

I work at a credit union, and there is no reason you cannot re-affirm that 2nd loan, I would tell you to contact, the borad in writing and explain your reasons to file and why only on one.


Who can apply for car loan after bankruptcy filing?

Assuming the bankruptcy has gone to discharge, the debtor can apply for a car loan almost immediately, as long as the income is enough to qualify. You will pay a high interest rate, though, if you make the payments on time for a year or so, you may be able to refinance. Watch out for "we finance here" dealers. They are often not licensed as lenders and will have you sign a document with a lot of blank spaces. Don't do it. Go to a credit union or a small local bank, if possible. If the bankruptcy is still pending, you need permission from the court.

If your car was repossessedand the company who sold the car to you is filing bankruptcy do you still owe?

Yes. Since the "Car Sales Company" went into bankruptcy, your financial agreement with your "Creditor" (bank, credit card, credit union, etc...) has not dissolved the loan. Check with your creditor (who you send your monthly to?) and/or continue paying for your car. This will help you keep your own personal credit in good standing.

Can credit union hold title on car if car used as collateral and loan is default?

Yes. That's why the credit union has possession of the title. If you used the car as collateral for a loan and default on the loan the lender will take possession of the car and sell it to offset what you owe on the loan.
