Yes, because it is still a reposession, even if you agree to it. It's irrelevant anyway since a BK is far more damaging than anything they might say to your credit.
No, it will remain for seven years.
The fact that you have a repossession on your credit report is not a determining factor of whether your can file for bankruptcy. Generally in bankruptcy you can remove the debts from the repossession of your vehicle.
Yes, filing for bankruptcy can affect your car loan. If you include the car loan in your bankruptcy filing, you may have to surrender the vehicle or negotiate a reaffirmation agreement to keep it. Additionally, bankruptcy can negatively impact your credit score, making it harder to obtain future loans. However, not including the car loan in bankruptcy may allow you to retain the vehicle, provided you continue making payments.
Speaking from experience, if the discharge of bankruptcy is pending, a credit check may not pass, however, having discharged voluntarily from bankruptcy may have the same result depending on the policy of the employer or financial institution.
A dismissed bankruptcy whether voluntarily or done by the bankruptcy court will remain on a CR for the required 7 years.
By listing the creditor on the bankruptcy schedules.
You don't. If the cobuyer has possession of the vehicle and is no longer making payments, you as the buyer may take possession and either take up and make current the payments, or voluntarily surrender the vehicle. Failure to do so will result in repossession, and will adversely affect your credit.
If the vehicle is owned by someone else (the credit union) then it is not yours to raise finance on.
The bankruptcy will appear on their credit if you include this card in your bankruptcy. If you leave the card off the bankruptcy, it will not effect their credit.
After your discharge, you can purchase a home at any time. If you pay cash, you may have some serious problems explaining where the money came from and why it was not reported in the bankruptcy documents. If you apply to borrow, you will have trouble qualifying for a mortgage, since credit score will be low, due to the bankruptcy and the poor credit you had prior to filing. You will have to be serious about repairing your credit score, and it will take 3-4 years for you to do that.
will bankruptcy increase you credit score over time
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
