What happens if you file chapter 13 bankruptcy but surrender your vehicle to the creditor?

Christopher J. Kane
Answered by attorney Christopher J. Kane
Bankruptcy lawyer at Christopher J. Kane, P.C.
Yes, you can choose to surrender the vehicle and discharge the loan in both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. If you get your bankruptcy discharge you will not be liable for the deficiency balance on the loan after the lender takes the car and sells it.

If I have an RV or motor home, all payments are on time and no equity, and it is financed, can I keep it if I file for chapter 7?

If you otherwise qualify for Chapter 7 relief, you would only have a problem if the payments are too large and it would appear that you could pay some percentage to your unsecured debts if you did not spend that money. If you live in that vehicle, that would not be a problem. Otherwise, there are too many potential factors to give you a definite answer or other advice without a formal consultation.

What do we do if they start to garnish our wages? How?

He will need to double check his facts before filing a motion to stop the garnishment and declare the judgment to be void. Your husband may also seek advice from his bankruptcy attorney to obtain sanctions to punish this creditor for pursuing this judgment in violation of the bankruptcy discharge. Frankly, this is such a rare occurrence that I have not seen this problem in over 35 years of practicing bankruptcy law.
