Your Vehicle Will Not Be Repossessed If..
The reality is that in most cases, if you own your car outright or have kept up with your loan payments no one can take your car away.
Can’t Pay Your Auto Loan — Talk to Creditors BEFORE You Default
If you anticipate that you are going to have trouble making your auto loan payments in the immediate future, it is critical that you contact your auto loan holder prior to going into default. Creditors are far more open to renegotiating if repossession is not already in the works. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy action may be able to prevent or even reverse a repossession.
If you speak with your creditors, they may be willing to delay your car loan payments for a little while. They may even be willing to restructure your loan altogether. You must speak to them to find out, and the sooner the better.
Creditors Want You to Keep Making Payments
Creditors would prefer to keep receiving payments and that you keep your vehicle. This means that many would like to help you find a way to make good on your loan. Discussing your situation can potentially result in a new payment plan that is affordable and stops repossession.
Filing for Bankruptcy and Stopping Repossession
Bankruptcy immediately freezes the efforts of creditors to collect on debts. Bankruptcy will even freeze any actions being taken for home mortgage foreclosure.
Bankruptcy will give you time to catch up on your loan payments. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will generally eliminate credit card debt and many other types of debt. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy you can impose a repayment plan on your auto lender to catch up on missed payments, even if your car has recently been repossessed. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy will also give you the chance to catch up on missed mortgage payments.
