Can I file a chapter 7 bankruptcy for my mortgage and car payments?

Cary Sawyer Smalley
Answered by attorney Cary Sawyer Smalley (Unclaimed Profile)

Yes, but student loans generally cannot be discharged in bankruptcy and if you must continue to make your house and car payments if you want to keep them. I suggest you consult with a bankruptcy attorney to discuss your options and the details of your situation.

Bankruptcy chapter 7

Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
I'm assuming "MVA" has something to do with personal injury.  Personal injury awards are often protected by exemption laws.  Exemptions are "protections" for value you have in certain assets such that they are "exempt" from collections.  Every state has different exemptions amounts available. Exemption laws are based on the state where you resided for the 2 years prior to filing your bankruptcy case or, if you lived in more than 1 state during that period, in the state where you resided for the greater part of the 180 days prior to that 2 year period.  You need to consult with a bankruptcy attorney in your area to see which state or federal exemption laws would apply in your case, and then whether they protect the award you are receiving. 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.

Will chapter 7 discharge the debts including the title loan and allow us to keep our vehicle as it's our primary vehicle?

Chapter 7 will NOT discharge a SECURED loan like a title loan. A chapter 13 filing, however, MAY have the added benefit of reducing the loan value down to what the car is valued at if the loan is over 310 days old. You should seek the benefit of a bankruptcy consultation to see what your options are.
