If my car was repossessed, can I file bankruptcy to get it back?

Gary A. Russell
Answered by attorney Gary A. Russell (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Clos, Russell & Wirth, P.C.
Assuming you could get the auto returned, which is doubtful, you only get to keep the car if you reaffirm the debt.

Does the bankrupty on a home include the equity loan?

Answered by attorney Jay William Moreland (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Jay W. Moreland, P.A.
Yes it does. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy if you wish to surrender the home, the bankruptcy will eliminate the obligation to pay both a first mortgage and an equity loan. If you wish to keep the home and the home is worth less than you owe on your first mortgage, you may be able to strip the equity loan in both a Chapter 7 and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Stripping the loan turns it into an unsecured debt and removes the lien on the home. If your home is worth even a dollar more than the balance due on your first mortgage, you will not be able to strip the equity loan.

Can I take the car back and sell it so that I can repair my credit score?

Answered by attorney Stephen P. Dempsey (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Stephen P. Dempsey Counselor at Law
You may not want to register or insure it in your name. That may be more of a contract question because if he had been making payments under the loan he would be entitled to any equity in the car if it was sold and not you.
