Is there any possible way to keep a car when filing a chapter 7?

Christopher J. Kane
Answered by attorney Christopher J. Kane
Bankruptcy lawyer at Christopher J. Kane, P.C.
As long as you keep your payments current on the auto loan the lender cannot repossess it. The issue in bankruptcy will be whether you have any equity in the car, whether the car is worth more than you owe on the loan. You are entitled to a $3,000 "exemption" on the equity in the car. If you have less than $3,000 in equity, then the bankruptcy Trustee will not take an interest in the vehicle. If have more than $3,000 in equity (you have "non-exempt equity") than you can work a deal with the Trustee to pay the Trustee the amount of the non-exempt equity and keep the car.

Can I file for a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Sanaz Sarah Bereliani (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bereliani Law Firm, PC
I would suggest simply sending them your discharge letter and 341(a) letter that was originally sent to you (with all your case info on it). Based on In Re Beasley, even if a creditor was left off due to clerical error, you are still protected because a bankruptcy filing is a public filing so it's as if the whole world is on notice.

What happens when you miss a bankruptcy court date due to hospitalization?

The best practice is to be pro-active with the trustee and Court/judge assigned to your case. Use the telephone and make the trustee and Court aware of illnesses, each will generally be compassionate and set a date for continued hearing(s) in your case, or even that your appearance is excused, if appropriate. It is important the petitioner seek competent counsel in the petitioner jurisdiction to determine qualifications and rights under Title 11 of the United States Code.
