Yes, you can keep your car but you will have to file a reaffirmation agreement to keep the car. You should keep making your payments and wait for the reaffirmation agreement.

Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
A bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years and then automatically is deleted. You can apply for a home loan at any time after filing bankruptcy. Some lenders will want a 2 year time to have elapsed after the bankruptcy discharge.

What can I do if I can't afford chapter 13 payment and my attorney won't help?

Answered by attorney Carl C Silver (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carl C. Silver Attorney at Law
Write a letter to your bankruptcy Judge that the attorney you paid to do your 13 will not talk to you or process your case. He will wish he never heard of you but I am sure the Judge will get on him or her and make them do their job or face Court sanctions. It sounds like your plan has not yet been confirmed. If your case gets dismissed before it is confirmed, the chapter 13 trustee will probably send the money to your attorney. The procedure for this varies from one Bankruptcy Court to the next. Call your chapter 13 trustee. First tell the chapter 13 trustee that your attorney refuses to do work on your case. Then ask the chapter 13 trustee what happens to your money if dismissed after confirmation. They know it is your money, so you may be able to get it sent to you. If you didn't pay much to start, your attorney who won't work for you will probably just take the money and claim he earned it. After your plan is confirmed, the chapter 13 trustee will disburse the money. Most will probably go to your present attorney for fees initially.
