Are you struggling to make the payments for your leased or financed vehicle? Understandably, you may feel overwhelmed, wishing you could avoid dealing with harassing creditors. However, inaction may only exacerbate your situation. If you default on your car loan, the creditor has a right to seize your vehicle. Your car could then be sold at auction and the lender could sue you for a deficiency judgment. When your financial and personal interests are on the line, settle for nothing less than experienced representation.

Consumer Bankruptcy Is a Last Line of Defense Against Repossessions

If you are struggling to make your car payments or have defaulted on your car loan, you may want to consider filing consumer bankruptcy. As soon as you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, an automatic stay will put an end to creditor actions. This means you can no longer be harassed for late car payments. An automatic stay stops creditors from taking action to repossess vehicles in default such as:

• Cars
• Trucks
• Motorcycles
• Boats
• ATVs

If you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, all of your debts will be reorganized into a realistic payment plan over three to five years. This would allow you time to catch up on your late payments so you can keep your vehicle. If your vehicle was recently repossessed, filing for bankruptcy may allow you to recover it before it is sold at auction. This is a highly complicated process, but attorney Steven J. Halbert has the skills and legal resources to protect your financial interests.
