Bankruptcy is not claimed on individual loans, a bankruptcy involves all your debt. The fact that you are current on your car loan may make it easier for you to negotiate with the lender for the continued ability to pay for your car but it doesn't mean that you get to have it for free. The same is true of a home loan.

Can you get a derement on your auto loan if you are in chapter 7 bankruptcy?

In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you cannot directly obtain a deferment on your auto loan; however, you may have options to deal with your car payments. The bankruptcy process may allow for the discharge of certain debts, including the possibility of eliminating the loan if the vehicle is not essential. Alternatively, you might negotiate with your lender for a payment plan or reaffirm the loan, which could lead to more manageable payments. It's advisable to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to understand your specific options.


If you filed bankruptcy would your house be foreclosed on?

If you file for bankruptcy the court will be in charge of finding a fair settlement. They can require the person in bankruptcy to sell their primary residence if that is the main asset of value. The rules vary by jurisdiction. Independent of the bankruptcy the lender who has a loan secured by the property can foreclose and force the sale of the home if the payments are not made as agreed. A bankruptcy does not release the borrower from keeping up the payments on the home loan. As most loans state, if you fail to keep up with your payments your home is at risk.

Can my house be repossessed if my husband is madebankrupt but is not on the deeds?

Your husband's name is not on the deed, but is he on the loan? If yes, then it cannot be foreclosed and repossessed if the property is listed on his bankruptcy filing, and, as long as his bankruptcy payments are current. If he defaults on bankruptcy payments, then you can lose the property. If he is not on the loan, then your house can be foreclosed and repossessed.

Where do you get a mortgage loan after bankruptcy?

I just talked to a friend of mine today about this. She says that if you do not have any late payments sent your bankruptcy discharge your credit is good. She also said I'd be suprised to see how many lenders are willing to loan to me after the discharge of bankruptcy. This of course depends on wether or not your payments are current or if you have incurred any additional bills. Good Luck!


If you are behind on your car payments should you file bankruptcy before the vehicle is repossessed?

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.


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.

What happens to a loan if a finance corporation files for bankruptcy?

Nothing spectacular happens. And you are still liable for the loan payments. Most bankruptcy filings are for Reorganization, not for 'going-out-of-business'. The 'filing' of bankruptcy is done in a Bankruptcy Court. A judge oversees the orderly progression of the bankruptcy. If the finance corporation has filed for reorganization, then you will continue paying them -- because they are not going out of business Otherwise, your loan and every other loan will be sold to another financial institution -- and you will pay that new company. No matter what, you still have to pay the full amount of your loan.
