Until the loan for the vehicle is paid according to the loan/lender's agreement the title will not be given to the borrower. The loan on the vehicle is still valid and the borrower is still responsible for payment.

Answer

If the creditor opted not to pick up the vehicle, you can file a Small Claims listing yourself as the Plaintiff and the creditor as the Defendant, and put that you are seeking "0.00" in damages and that you are requesting a Declaratory Judgment that the creditor has abandoned its interest in the vehicle, and you request the Court order the BMV to issue you a new, clean (i.e. lien-free) Certificate of Title on the vehicle. I have had several clients do this and I have never seen a creditor show up and defend the lawsuit as long as you don't ask for money but just ask the Court to order the BMV to give you a new title. Then, you get a clean title to the car for whatever the small claims filing fee is.

Can judgments be discharged in bankruptcy?

Perhaps, many judgments can be discharged in bankruptcy. The ones which are allowable are determined by state and/or federal laws, depending on the type of bankruptcy chosen. Understanding that if it gets removed it is because it was included and settled/discharged as part of the BK, generally by using the asset it is secured to, or other assets...it isn't just file BK and the lien/debt goes away.

Would you have to pay monthly notes in filing chapter 7 on my vehicle?

You don't file bankruptcy "on your vehicle." You file bankruptcy to discharge all your debts. You don't get to pick and choose which creditors. But, secured creditors either have to continue to be paid or you have to surrender the collateral, in which case the balance due on the secured note would be discharged.


If your finance company refuses to take back the vehicle after bankruptcy can you just leave it at the dealership?

Its done every day of the year. No. Even if the dealership would let you,(never happen)it is still your responsibility. Apparently the lender feels they can collect the debt by other means. Secured lenders have the option of negotiation or collection of the debt in full. Bankruptcy does not relieve you of secured debt, unless it is agreed upon by the lender.

ALL your property (all your assets) AND all your liabilities are included...always..you do not pick and chose. You cannot go BK on a speci Save fc debt.They are given different priorities, some debts may not be discharged (like child support), and some assets (like household goods, work tools), may not be used. Secured debts. (and property taxes are secured to the property being taxed), get first claim to the proceeds from that asset.AnswerReal estate taxes cannot always be discharged in bankruptcy. Determining whether they can be discharged requires some investigation by an attorney who specializes in bankruptcy law.

The average BK that is filed correctly is generally discharged in three to four months. There are not options for a personal bankruptcy to be expedited.
