A Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you keep your car

By: Darrell Castle

It’s pretty common for people to fall behind on their car payments. Dealing with that debt can be frustrating, but there’s even more the car owner needs to worry about in this situation – losing the car.

Your car loan is a secured debt, meaning it’s debt backed by collateral (your car in this case) that a creditor can recover if you default.

However, there are ways to stop the creditor from taking your car.

If you want to save your car, then a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is right for you. In Chapter 13, you can usually lower your car payment and the interest so that you have a lower payment spread out over a longer time.

You can also include your other debts in the bankruptcy.

Then, once the bankruptcy is complete, you still have your car that’s completely paid off, and you’ve gotten rid of your debt, creating a fresh start for yourself, financially. As a well respected bankruptcy law firm Memphis, TN counts on, we can help guide you through your financial difficulties.
