Yes you can. I am a mortgage broker and real estate agent here in California. These type of questions are best answered by both types of experts I have been involved in both the refinancing of a home in order to avoid bankruptcy as well as refinancing someone who is in chapter 13 and wants to get out of bankruptcy early. So both are possible what makes the difference is the equity in your home. It must be high enough to accomidate your debts. If you need further help you can e-mail me at nora@chapter13refinancing.com I will be happy to evaluate your situation

Can you file bankruptcy on a loan for a vehicle?

Probably yes. The reason for the "probably" is that you don't file bankruptcy on specific loans... you file bankruptcy in general, and it applies to most debts (there are certain types of debts that are not dischargable in a bankruptcy). Note that if you do file bankruptcy, you may have to sell the vehicle. In bankruptcy you are often required to sell certain assets in an attempt to at least partially pay off your creditors; you're allowed to keep a certain amount of equity in a vehicle specifically, and a certain amount in "general assets" (which can be applied to a vehicle or to cash or other personal property), but if the vehicle is worth more than that, you would have to sell it.


What happens to GM dealers if GM goes bankrupt?

If GM declares bankruptcy and stops making the vehicles sold by a GM dealer, then that dealer will have to find something else to sell or go out of business. Some forms of bankruptcy do not require that the company stop operating, but merely require that they operate under the supervision of a court while they sell off assets and reorganize to better pay off their debts. In that kind of a GM bankruptcy, many GM dealers may continue to have product to sell.


Can you ask to have your Chapter 13 bankruptcy dismissed before your confirmation hearing because you want to sell your home?
