No. But if you have equity in your home it may not be the best approach. A chapter 13 is designed for a situation where the person has equity or is behind on payments. In a Chapter 7 - You will be asked to pay the Trustee the value of the equity of your home... so if you have $15,000 in non-exempt equity, you'll most likely have to write a check to the Trustee for $15,000 or surrender the home. no ,but if you include the Mortgage on your property in your bankruptcy,most likely you will have to surrender the property to a court appointed trustee
The best option would be to sell the vehicle for the equity you have (as in, the amount you have paid on it) and buy a reliable used car for cash with no payments.

This is question does not have a simple answer. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy whether you will be allowed to keep your car varies by state. In the case of motor vehicles it depends on your equity in the vehicle and the "motor vehicle exemption" allowed by your state law. In some cases you are allowed only your equity -- that is the value of the used car minus the amount you own on a your loan. And of your equity your may be allowed only some portion, called the motor vehicle exemption. The exemption allowed by your state and your equity determine if you can keep your car.

In a chapter 7, you can keep the house if there is no equity or the equity is exempt under the applicable exemption statute, or if you can pay the trustee the amount of the equity from some other exempt asset. If the house is in foreclosure, you usually would have to file a chapter 13. In a chapter 13, if the equity in the house, if not exempt, you may have to pay something to the unsecured creditors, increasing the amount of the plan and thus the plan payments. But you get to keep the house.
