Can a car company come after me if they repossess my car after I file bankruptcy?

If the debt was also included on the bankruptcy petition and you did not reaffirm the debt, then the debt should have been discharged by the court and your creditor will not be able to collect the debt from you.

What should be done if I am going to be late on my first chapter 13 payment?

Sort of depends on how late your payment is. Under a few weeks, no problem. More than a month, big problem. You may need to review your budget and submit another plan for confirmation if you cannot afford to make your Plan payments on time every month.

What should I do if in bankruptcy and non reaffirmation on house?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
In Wisconsin, a fee of $1,000 for a Ch. 7 bankruptcy is about half the going rate. Failure to conclude reaffirmations is very frequent. What you could do, among other things, is contact the credit reporting bureaus and ask to submit a debtor's statement, which would have to accompany the credit report wherever it goes. Work a bit on the languge so that it states concisely and in good English that your lawyer failed to reaffirm, but that you have been making all payments regardless. If you have been making all the payments, even if they are not being reported to the credit bureaus, you should be able to show that to any potential lender. That could make a difference. Also, so long as you are making the payments, you are keeping the house, and the lender will have to satisfy the mortgage once you finish paying, so the only real loss is some points in your credit score. Meticulous payment of all your bills will make up for the loss of points before long.
