How Can Bankruptcy Help?

You may be able to stop an auto repossession with a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. With a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can pay back your past-due auto debt gradually with a debt repayment plan. The plan typically lasts for three to five years.

In addition to saving your vehicle, you may be able to discharge credit card debts, medical bills and other unsecured debts after the successful completion of your Chapter 13 plan. To be eligible for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you must have a regular source of income that will allow you to make monthly payments in accordance with the terms of your Chapter 13 plan.

Auto Loan Cram-Down

You may also be eligible for an auto loan cram-down. If your car 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.

Other Debt Relief Services

Another option is to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or to obtain a debt settlement of credit card debts or other unmanageable debts, thus enabling you to discharge debts that may help you to have sufficient financial resources to catch up on your past-due auto payments and pay the remainder of your auto loan.

The Automatic Stay

Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy each provide additional relief through the automatic stay. When your bankruptcy petition is filed with the court, the court will issue an automatic stay order that temporarily halts most creditors – including auto lenders and auto repossessors – from further collection activity.
