If the lender is willing to reaffirm the loan with the borrower then the vehicle can be returned. A vehicle is a secured debt and is not subject to chapter 7 bankruptcy laws.
In GA Can you get your car back after a repossession if you file chapter 13 bankruptcy
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 the car has been auctioned off after you got notice of the auction and how much you needed to pay to get it back, you can't get it back. If you are lucky, you may be able to get some of your personal property from the car back. If it has not been auctioned, you can pay the amount owed or file bankruptcy.
YES. Most likely what happened is the bankruptcy trustee auctioned the residence to somebody who is holding it till they can get a better resale price on the market. Find the owner of record and contact them or their agent for real estate. If the bankruptcy trustee has not auctioned the residence yet, then the bankruptcy procedure might not be complete and they probably are waiting till some time in the near future when the residence can be auctioned for more than the bankruptcy exemption value (which the bankruptcy trustee should provide to you upon sale of that asset). A bankruptcy trustee should not have reservations about reselling an asset back to the bankrupt person, but it would be a cash sale for some amount (determined by the trustee) in excess of the exemption figure (set by state regulation). If your bankruptcy procedure has been completed officially, and the residence has not been auctioned by the court yet, then there may be some legal problem with the handling of your bankruptcy and you might inquire with the court about the disposition of the residence in that bankruptcy case (if the bankruptcy trustee was wrong to take the residence for auction, then that decision might be changed).
If your Chapter 13 was dismissed, meaning you did not complete your Plan, then you are essentially right back where you started before you filed for bankruptcy. The creditors can pursue you for the debts without any legal ramifications.
Many people are unable to maintain the rigid repayment plans (and strict budget) that go along with Chapter 13 bankruptcy. One option is to switch to Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This can be done (one time) without court approval, although if you ever wish to switch back to Chapter 13 then the court will be involved. Before switching I would recommend looking at the different characteristics of each type of bankruptcy.
no you dont have to
In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, assets of a business are sold to help pay back their debts. In Chapter 11, businesses can keep their assets and try to negotiate new terms with their creditors.
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.
Personal bankruptcy can do two things. 1) Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, or reorganization Bankruptcy lets an individual work with their creditors to pay back debts without the threat of foreclosure or harassment. This lets someone do the right thing and pay people back. 2) Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a more extreme step. During Chapter 7 one continues to make essential payments while paying nothing to other creditors. Next, all assets are liquidated and distributed to creditors. Bankruptcy is the really last resort and only you know whether you go to this route.
