Q. Should I file for bankruptcy or settle law suit?

March 14, 2022

A: Provided that you take the necessary steps to seek reaffirmation of a vehicle loan, you don't lose the vehicle based upon the judge's decision. Granting or denying a creditor's motion to approve the debtor's reaffirmation of a vehicle loan only impacts whether or not the debtor may be responsible for a potential deficiency balance (after auction) if the debtor defaults under the contract and the creditor repossesses and auctions the vehicle. Best to speak with a bankruptcy attorney to discuss this and other issues before deciding how to deal with your debts.
