No.

Chapter 13 offers individuals a number of advantages over liquidation under chapter 7. Perhaps most significantly, chapter 13 offers individuals an opportunity to save their homes from foreclosure. By filing under this chapter, individuals can stop foreclosure proceedings and may cure delinquent mortgage payments over time. Nevertheless, they must still make all mortgage payments that come due during the chapter 13 plan on time.

Another advantage of chapter 13 is that it allows individuals to reschedule secured debts like cars (other than a mortgage for their primary residence) and extend them over the life of the chapter 13 plan. Doing this may lower the payments.

Chapter 13 also has a special provision that protects third parties who are liable with the debtor on "consumer debts." This provision may protect co-signers.

Finally, chapter 13 acts like a consolidation loan under which the individual makes the plan payments to a chapter 13 trustee who then distributes payments to creditors. Individuals will have no direct contact with creditors while under chapter 13 protection.

Can you surrender your vehicle after filing chapter 13?

Yes, but I would hang on to your car if you can make the payments because getting a car while you are in bankruptcy is quite a process (you must file a motion to incur additional debt and get permission from your trustee) and you will pay a much higher interest rate. Maybe higher than the one you have now, since you purchased it before bankruptcy. There are also limits on the price of the car you are allowed to buy and a limit on the payments you are allowed to take on. You will also have a repo on your credit, making it difficult to finance a car

If you filed for chapter 13 can you purchase a new car?

While in a Chapter 13 debt repayment, the person(s) involved must have the permission of the assigned trustee before making major financial transactions. Failure to do this can result in the dismissal of the filing and/or other penalties. Not quite true. You can purchase a new car by obtaining a specific car loan agreement which does not seriously affect your chapter 13 plan payments and filing it with the court with a motion to approve the loan. The chapter 13 trustee must also agree to the new car loan. The details vary somewhat from one bankruptcy district to another, so consult a local bankruptcy lawyer.
