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.

It's advisable to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to understand your specific options.
