I have 4 loans through 1 bank and plan on bankruptcy, can they repossess my vehicle with them even if current on payments?

Michael O'Leary
Answered by attorney Michael O'Leary
Bankruptcy lawyer at Hayward, Parker O'Leary
Credit unions loan documents typically contain "cross-collateralization" clauses, which essentially provide that the collateral for one loan serves as collateral for every other loan that you have with the credit union. If this is enforced by the credit union (and there is no reason to suspect that they won't), the vehicle that you are "current" on could be repo'd if both car loans are not paid.

What happens when my fiance is using my checking account to pay personal bills?

Diane L Drain
Answered by attorney Diane L Drain (Unclaimed Profile)

Your questions are a little too complicated to answer in this forum. Do not let her use your checking account to deposit her wages or other funds. This could be very complicated later. As to bankruptcy, please understand that bankruptcy is a very complicated process. It is wise to talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney before deciding to take this important step.

Is the co-signer responsible for the loan now that I no longer have access to the loan?

Michael O'Leary
Answered by attorney Michael O'Leary
Bankruptcy lawyer at Hayward, Parker O'Leary
While I have no idea of the internal mechanics of your lender's loan payoff department, if the private student loan is a qualified education loan, as defined in IRC ? 221(d)(1)? (as most private student loans are) it is not dischargeable in bankruptcy and you are still obligated for the payments. I would suggest that you jump through whatever administrative hoops the lender requires you to jump through so that you can make your electronic payments. If the process of paying electronically is not working out, try the old fashioned way and send them a check. It is a quaint technology, but it still works.
