Best Answer

If it was a secured loan, you either reaffirm or surrender the collateral. If it was an unsecured loan you can pay it off. Do not repay in regular monthly installments or you may reinstate the debt. If it is close to the date your c 7 was closed, I do not advise you to pay it off right away. If it involves paying a relative or friend, wait even longer.

What is a reaffirmed loan?

A "reaffirmed loan" is a loan that the claimant in a bankruptcy has left out of the bankruptcy and is "reaffirming" that they will still pay the loan as usual.


What do you do with your car after bankruptcy that was not reaffirmed?

The question makes no sense. Bankruptcies don't get "reaffirmed". Individual loans, however, may get reaffirmed in a bankruptcy.If you had a loan for your car, and that loan was neither reaffirmed nor wiped out by the bankruptcy, then you should expect the repo men to show up very soon.


How do you get a car title after bankruptcy 1 year ago?

If there was a secured loan and you reaffirmed the debt in your chapter 7 and you have paid off the loan, you should get the title from the lender. If you surrendered the car to the lender in your chapter 7, your balance was discharged as an unsecured loan and you have not owned the car since you surrendered it.

How can one get a loan if they have declared bankruptcy?

Getting a loan after bankruptcy can be difficult depending on what type of bankruptcy one files. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy, one cannot even apply for credit during the length of the bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, that is a different story. One can file Chapter 7 bankruptcy and as soon as it is discharged can apply for credit. The only problem with getting a loan after bankruptcy is that you may have to have a co-signer until you build up some positive credit.


I had filed for bankruptcy 2yrs ago and it was dismissed. I have a zero balance on a auto loan that shows on my credit report. Do I still have to make my car payments?

If you reaffirmed your car loan during your bankruptcy, you agreed to continue making the payments. If you included your car in the bankruptcy, then the loan was wiped clean, as it appears to have been according to your credit report. Your car should have been repossessed, but apparently wasn't. You should check with the lawyer who handled your bankruptcy, but my guess is that your car slipped through the cracks.


Is a car loan discharged under chapter 7 bankruptcy?
