The Law Offices of Lin & Wood will sit down with you during a Free Consultation to discuss cars in bankruptcy and how the bankruptcy laws can help your situation.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and Cars

If you are current with your vehicle payment or having trouble making your vehicle payment because of credit card debt or other debts, in most cases, a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy will allow you to keep your vehicle and Discharge your Unsecured Debt. After the Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing you will be able to afford your monthly vehicle payment and keep your vehicle.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and Cars

If you are behind multiple vehicle payments Chapter 13 will allow you to catch up on the missed payments and reorganize the debt in the Chapter 13 Plan. Depending upon when you purchased the vehicle, the amount owed and how much the vehicle is worth, the Chapter 13 Plan could allow you to pay less for your vehicle in the Chapter 13 plan and Discharge all or most of your Unsecured Debts.
