If you have two financed vehicles can you keep them both in a bankruptcy as long as you make the payments?
When you go into business/personal bankruptcy that means you have to give up everything. However, before claiming bankruptcy many people hide things or sell off vehicles to a trusted family member or friend. This way you can actually buy the car back at a later date. People who own companies often put their home, properties, etc., in their wife or husband's name and thus, the courts can't touch these items. Believe it or not, in business (not personal bankruptcy) you can start all over again under other partners or under a different company name. Sad, but true. Personal bankruptcy is much less lenient.

Additionally, any liens or secured interests in the vehicle must be addressed during the bankruptcy process.

Bankruptcy looks worse on your credit report than a late payment.

You can always try to contact the credit bureaus to try and dispute the negative listings and have them removed if possible.
