The question cannot be answered without speculation. The only way to find out what the lender would be "willing" to do is to contact them and negotiate a deal. When you filed for bankruptcy, you should have filed a document called a Debtor's Statement of Intention. You have 3 and sometimes 4 options: (1) return the vehicle; (2) reaffirm the debt and keep the vehicle by making the payments; and (3) redeem the vehicle by making a cash purchase for the fair market value (even if less than the amount owed). Some jurisdictions have a fourth option that allows you to simply keep the vehicle and make the payments without reaffirming the debt. If you kept the vehicle and failed to make payments, they would have every right to repossess the vehicle. They just couldn't go after you for the deficiency balance after selling it at auction. If you offered them enough money, they might be willing to you purchase the vehicle now.

Can you do a loan modification if you are in chapter 13?

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy puts the entire debt collection process on hold to give the filers time to work out a court-approved repayment plan for a portion of their debts. Thus, because the process is on hold, a loan modification can not be enacted while a mortgage is currently under the supervision of the Chapter 13 trustee. However, it is possible to negotiate a modification of a loan with the mortgage lender during the bankruptcy. But it will be necessary to have the bankruptcy case voluntarily dismissed before the modification can be finalized and put into effect. Banks may not be willing to negotiate with the borrowers under the circumstances of a Chapter 13, though.

How long after bankruptcy do you have to wait before refinancing?

Refinancing after a bankruptcyThe time period you have to wait depends on what chapter bankruptcy you filed. Generally, you are able to refinance 2yrs after a Chapter 7 discharge.If you are in Chapter 13, you can refinance the next day with many lenders. You can email a mortgage broker like myself to find out more.To add to the above answer, you do NOT have to wait 2 years to refinance after a chapter 7 discharge, those are for fannie Mae loans. You can refinance a chapter 7 a day after discharge. A chapter 13 can also be refinanced before discharge since it's on a payment plan for 3-5 years from filing date. You can get a chapter 13 refinance as little as 6 months from filing, not discharge and you can payoff your chapter 13 in the process if you have enough equity in your home.
