If you accurately describe your assets it seems that you will be able to use the federal exemptions when you file your bankruptcy, meaning that you will be able to claim a $3,450.00 vehicle exemption and an $11,975.00 wildcard exemption, which you will apply to the excess equity in the vehicle. It appears that your car will be fully exempt, meaning that you will not lose your car.

The bankruptcy discharge only eliminates the obligation to pay on debts you incurred PRIOR to filing your bankruptcy case.  Any charges made on your line of credit after your bankruptcy case was filed you still owe.  If you don't want auto payments posting to your account, then you need to stop them. Whether you keep the account open or not is completely up to you. 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.
