Using Bankruptcy to Restructure Your Auto Loans

When the lender for your automobile is constantly pestering you to pay back your loans, you may be fearful about how to avoid repossession. After all, you have already been doing everything in your power to pay back your debts, so where is this extra money suddenly going to appear from? Thankfully, there is a sure way to get caught up on truck and car payments by using Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

When you file for Chapter 13, you will discover that it is one of the most optimum ways of getting debt relief. One of the primary benefits of Chapter 13 is that it greatly reduces the amount of money you have to give on a monthly basis. Then you are able to reorganize or restructure any partial remnants of the rest of the loans. Not only will this make your payment structure so much more manageable, but you can finally focus on paying back one debt at a time, including your loan for your vehicle.

Using an Automatic Stay to Stop Repossession Immediately

Yet another huge benefit of applying for bankruptcy is that you will receive an automatic stay. The way this works is that you get instant relief from anyone trying to repossess your car. All debt collectors, including those trying to seize your car, are required by law to immediately halt their actions of seeking payment. Even if your application has not been accepted yet, the stay still becomes effective right away. No one can take your vehicle, or even continue to send you harassing emails and letters threatening about what will happen to your automobile if you do not pay immediately.

An automatic stay cannot only stop repossession creditors from contacting you, but it can also help in other situations as well, including:

  • Ceasing foreclosures and evictions of your home
  • Fixing problems of wage garnishment
  • Stopping the harassment of pestering debt collectors and creditors
