What will happen if I filed bankruptcy and before it was discharged I got a car I really needed and I can no longer afford the car?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald K. Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
Since you bought the car after you filed your bankruptcy petition, neither the car nor the car loan are covered in your bankruptcy. You can't turn in the car and walk away from the payments, that only happens when you buy the car before you file bankruptcy. If you stop making the payments, the lender will probably repo the car then sue you for any balance that isn't covered when they sell the car again.

How do I know I qualify for chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Dawn DiManna
Answered by attorney Dawn DiManna (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at DiManna Law Office, LLC
It is not so much qualification as what makes sense for you in your particular financial situation. There are specific qualification rules regarding how often an individual can file, what exemptions are available to you, where you can file, but these are base on the particular facts in your case and need to be analyzed by a bankruptcy attorney.

Who can find out that I've filed for bankruptcy and why?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
Yes, it is public information and will be available to everyone, and noted on your credit reports. See an attorney and get counsel BEFORE you act. Bankruptcy is not for everyone, has consequences and you need to know the potential relief you will get prior to filing.
