Can I stop my vehicle from being repossessed & what can I do if it has been repossessed?
Yes, you can stop your vehicle from being repossessed by either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Under a Chapter 7
procedure, you would need to make up the delinquent payments and the creditor may ask for a reaffirmation agreement. Under
a Chapter 13 procedure, there would be a structured payment plan.
If your vehicle has already been repossessed, under the Chapter 7 procedure, you cannot get your vehicle back, but when
the creditor sells the vehicle at auction, any deficiency balance would be a dischargeable debt. Under the Chapter 13 procedure,
many times you can get your vehicle back and set up a structured payment plan.
