• You missed a car payment
• Will be unable to make the next one
• Or even if your vehicle was actually repossessed within the last several days

Can Bankruptcy Stop Repossession of Vehicle?

Auto repossessions occur every day across Texas. It is common to live in denial that this will really happen. A reliable, effective way to prevent repossession or get your vehicle back may be a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing.

This form of bankruptcy, as opposed to Chapter 7 bankruptcy, may allow you to catch up on your car loan and repay other debts over a period of three to five years.

The questions "How can I stop repossession of my vehicle?" and "Can I keep my car in bankruptcy?" are ones we hear often. Our dedicated bankruptcy attorneys have helped hundreds of people find workable solutions.

Houston Car Repossession Defense Strategies

If you qualify, filing a Chapter 13 petition may enable you to:

• "Stretch out" your car loan over a five-year period that makes it manageable, and potentially obtain a dramatically reduced interest rate.
• Repay an amount based on the blue-book value, rather than the full, original amount of the loan, if the vehicle loan is older than a certain number of days defined by Texas bankruptcy law.
• Roll other debts, such as credit card or medical bills that are absorbing a high percentage of your income, into your payment plan.
