A car repossession or a truck repossession can be inconvenient, and in some cases, have an devastating impact on an already difficult financial situation such as losing a job if you do not have a vehicle.
Bankruptcy can hold off a repossession before it happens. If the vehicle has already been repossessed, two different bankruptcy chapters can help you – in different ways.
A chapter 7 bankruptcy case will protect the person whose vehicle has been repossessed from having to pay the lender for any shortfall on the car loan after the car is auctioned.
A chapter 13 bankruptcy can actually get the repossessed vehicle returned to the owner, with the requirement that the chapter 13 payment plan proposes to pay off the arrears on the vehicle loan, or in many cases, simply pay the car loan in full through the chapter 13 plan.
Bill Kain and Margaret Henehan have over 60 years of combined bankruptcy experience and have helped hundreds of Minnesotans get back on their feet after getting weighed down by debt.
At Kain + Henehan, we love people. We never view your story as a source of shame or embarrassment. We truly care about our clients and want to help them live their best lives.
Bill and Margaret are respected among their peers and colleagues. Their positive relationships within the bankruptcy court system leads to positive outcomes for their clients.
Any person thinking about filing a chapter 13 to get a repossessed vehicle returned to them needs to act fast – there is just a short amount of time between repossession and the end of the redemption period for a case to be filed.
You don’t have to wait for a repossession to take advantage of chapter 13’s ability to re-write a vehicle loan. In some cases, a longer loan period, reduced interest rates and/or a reduced loan principal balance can be incorporated into a chapter 13 plan to make a car payment more affordable.
