Can a loan company legally repossess a car if payments are being made?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney David Justin Harelik (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Westgate Law
The loan company can only repossess the car if you are behind on payments. You could been only one payment behind and that would be enough for a company to repossess the vehicle. It is tough when loans are transferred from one company to another, but generally the new company has accurate records. You just need to show proof you are making payments.

If you signed a loan contract with an employer and the fire you, would that be considered breaking the contract?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Nancy J Wallace (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Nancy Wallace, Attorney at Law
I don't see which contract words the employer violated or 'breached'. Does the contract state that you will continue to employed until the loan is paid off with the payroll deductions? Unless there are words in the agreement that require the employer to keep you employed there until the loan payments are done, I don't see any breach.

Why do bankruptcy fees vary?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney William Monroe Rubendall (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
Sometimes chapter 13 fees are set by guidelines established by judges. For instance this is the way it is done in the Northern District of California. Attorneys are allowed to charge less if they choose. In chapter 11 the typical retainer fee for a small case is about $20,000. Most chapter 7 case are charged about$2000 in the local area. Various factors determine the amount of the fee. Sometimes it is typical to talk to a "fee shopper." The reputation of the attorney, not the fee charged is probably the most important consideration.
