When filing for bankruptcy, people often ask, "Can I keep my car and achieve debt relief?" Many times, the answer is yes.

When filing for bankruptcy, an automatic stay is put on many creditor actions, including the repossession of your car. This allows us to assess your situation and determine whether you should:

  • Negotiate the terms of the loan: interest rates, amount, redemption
  • Allow the creditor to repossess the car
  • Work out a payment plan
  • Sell the car
  • Pursue another option

If you have questions about the legal options available to you, contact our firm for answers in a free initial consultation.

Redemption

Redemption allows a car owner to pay their existing lender the exact value of what the car is worth, as opposed to what they still owe on the loan.  

You Can Still Get a Car Loan

If your car was repossessed during the bankruptcy process, there are steps you can take to get a car loan during or immediately after discharge of your debts in bankruptcy. There are several reliable agencies that offer car loans specifically to people and families who are emerging from bankruptcy.
