How Can Bankruptcy Help?
Even if you are several months behind on your vehicle payments, you may be able to avoid repossession with a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. With a Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan, you pay back debts gradually over a three- to five-year debt repayment plan. You can keep secured debts, such as a car, truck or motorcycle, by paying back any late payments gradually over the term of your payment plan. At the successful completion of your plan, you may also be able to discharge a portion of your unsecured debts such as credit card debts or medical bills.
Depending on the facts of your case, you may also be eligible for an auto loan cram-down. If your auto loan is more than 910 days old on the day you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you do not have to repay any portion of your auto loan that exceeds the current retail value of your vehicle.
Depending on the facts of your case, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy may also provide the critical debt relief you are seeking. With a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you could discharge unsecured debts, thereby freeing up money that may allow you to afford your monthly vehicle payment.
