Does the amount paid towards the vehicle loan count when doing a redemption during bankruptcy?

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
You don't state it, but I'm going to assume you are asking about your options in a Chapter 7 case, since you mention "redemption" of the vehicle loan. I'm not completely sure I understand your question, but you have the ability, pursuant to section 722 of the Bankruptcy Code, to redeem a vehicle by paying in a lump sum its fair market value (presumably as of the filing date of your bankruptcy case, but courts in your area may define a different date, such as the date of the hearing on your redemption motion). You have to file a Motion to approve the redemption, and you have to establish the current fair market value of the vehicle.  Most courts use the NADA or Blue Book private party values minus an adjustment amount, and some use the trade-in value, but you need to know what the specific judge in your case requires.   This is yet another reason to have an experienced bankruptcy attorney representing you. You don't provide any information on how much is owed on the vehicle, but as long as the above value is less than what you owe, and you can come up with the funds to do the redemption, it may make sense in your case. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

How do I refinance my home to a lower interest rate after filing chapter 7?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
The advice was correct, but it is very doubtful anyone will refinance your obligations, especially at a lower rate.

Can I file for chapter 13 if the property that I bought has an unknown lien on it?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
It depends what the lawsuit is for. You may have a claim against the title insurance company for not disclosing the lawsuit. I need to see the lawsuit to give sound advice.
