Filing for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Can Prevent Your Car Loan Lender From Repossessing Your Car
Once your Chapter 13 is filed, your car is immediately protected through what is called an automatic stay. The lender cannot repossess your car until the bankruptcy judge approves your repayment plan. And if your repayment plan includes your car loan’s back payments, the lender cannot repossess your car during and after the bankruptcy as long as you stay current on your payments.
If your car has been repossessed by the lender but they have not resold it yet, as soon as you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy they have to stop everything. The lender cannot try to sell your car without asking the court and giving you notice through the bankruptcy. We can use this time to negotiate with the lender and create new terms.

What is a Deficiency Balance?
