There are some creditors that offer car loans to those who' ve filed bankruptcy.
Talk to the lender, or you can file Chapter 13 Bankruptcy to lower the payments where you can afford them.
When you file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you have the option to keep your home and 1 vehicle. If you are able to make the last 2 payments on the car, you can keep it and not include it in the bankruptcy.
If a car dealership files for bankruptcy, someone will purchase the accounts receivable as part of the bankruptcy settlement. That person or company should contact you and tell you where to make payments.
No. But, the vehicle will become a repossession if payments are not made.
Before doing that, you should go to your bank and explain your situation. They might be able to take over the loan at a lower interest rate. That way your payments may become smaller. If that doesn't work, maybe call whoever has your laon and explain your situation, see if there's anything they can do. * No. Bankruptcy should be the last resort for a debtor. Be that as it may, bankruptcy will not keep a vehicle from being repossessed or the borrower for being responsible for the loan. Secured property such as a vehicle are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
Yes, as long as you do not include it on the bankruptcy, at least in Florida. * The vehicle exemption that is allowed by either federal or state law determines whether or not the vehicle can be excluded from bankruptcy action.
If the vehicle is protected by the state or federal bankruptcy exemption, you can try to reaffirm the loan agreement with the lender. If that's not possible you will be required to surrender the vehicle and will be probably be held responsible for any deficiency and applicable fees after the car is resold.
Yes you can still turn it in. They told me that because it was involved in the bankruptcy, I could stop paying at any time and either call them to come get it or take it to the nearest dealer. I chose to keep my vehicle at the time but have since traded in for another.
yes
Yes, but I would hang on to your car if you can make the payments because getting a car while you are in bankruptcy is quite a process (you must file a motion to incur additional debt and get permission from your trustee) and you will pay a much higher interest rate. Maybe higher than the one you have now, since you purchased it before bankruptcy. There are also limits on the price of the car you are allowed to buy and a limit on the payments you are allowed to take on. You will also have a repo on your credit, making it difficult to finance a car
You may keep your car in any state where you file bankruptcy, provided you reaffirm with the lender, or you exclude the vehicle debt from the bankruptcy. This of course is also dependent upon remaining current on the loan payments also. You should really discuss this matter with your BK Lawyer.
Can who make you sell it? If he filed bankruptcy and his name is on the title, you will need to go to court and show documentation that you are the only one that made the payments. Also, you will want to get his name off the title ASAP. * It is not relevant as to who makes the payments on the loan. The wording of the title determines ownership of a vehicle. If the title is jointly owned with the names separated by the word "or" the vehicle is considered owned separately by each named party and can be subject to a judgment creditor or bankruptcy action. If the names are separated by the word "and" the vehicle is jointly owned and in most instances cannot be partitioned. If it is a matter of bankruptcy, the vehicle exemption may or may not protect it from being seized by the trustee. If it concerns a repossession or attachment by another creditor and the person named on the title is the judgment debtor, the exemption also applies with the exception of the lender themselves.
