If you're filing bankruptcy and you want to keep your car for which you have a loan would you have to pay the trade-in value or retail value of the car?
A vehicle is secured property therefore the debtor has only two choices when declaring bankruptcy. If the vehicle exemption protects it, then the debtor may reaffirm the loan if the lender is willing and keep the vehicle. If the exemption does not protect the vehicle, it will be taken by the trustee sold, the debtor will receive the exemption amount but will have to pay the lender the sale deficit plus any existing fees. When new bankruptcy laws are activated in Oct, 2005, the debtor will have to pay the entire loan amount regardless of whether the vehicle is kept or forfeited.
What can you keep in California bankruptcy?
In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you need not lose anything as long as you follow the payment plan. In Chapter 7 or liquidation, there are certain assets that can be kept. It is dependent on the bankruptcy amount exemptions. In California, there are 2 sets of exemptions. Set 1 provides exemption for homestead, personal property, insurance, pensions, public benefits, tools of trade and wages . System 2, almost the same as System 1 but it has the wild card system. If the individual does not own property, he/she can use the value of the homestead for any property chosen. For an official opinion, it is advised you seek legal counsel.
