(Depending on where you live) You can:

1. She can elect not to include the car, and retain property of it.

2. If you are 1/2 way finished of payments you can contact the lending agency and request sole responsibility of the lien

3.Return the car to the title company

If you keep the car, you will still be held liable for the payments. If you no longer want the car or to make payments, you will need to release it back to the title company.

Another thought too....your credit is tied up in this deal. Her credit will be affected by the bankruptcy but if you keep the car and keep the payments up you'll get the credit and benefit by doing the right thing by paying it off. You'll be much better off doing that. If you turn the car in I think it will hurt your credit. You still have to pay if you keep the car.

Most people are surprised tofine their credit in much better shape after a BK than before with a much higher credit score Late payments can always be corrected, and this will be reflected on your credit file. Bankruptcy, however, will stay on your credit file for six years.

Is it better to try for lower payments through your credit card company than to file bankruptcy?

Always. In brief, bankruptcy will follow you for the next seven (7) years and make it difficult (if not impossible) for you to get any consumer credit during that time. If you are having trouble making payments, call your credit card company and let them know. In the process, help them understand that you want to be a good and responsible customer and ask them to help you figure out a plan that will meet your budget while preserving their interest in what you owe. There are also nonprofit credit counselors that can help you with the process.

What looks worse on your credit report Late payments or a bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy looks worse on your credit report than a late payment. They will both drop your score quite a bit, but a bankruptcy lets your lenders know you gave up on the debts owed, so making it harder to get new loans. You can always try to contact the credit bureaus to try and dispute the negative listings and have them removed if possible.
