I have a financed car for which I can't afford the payments. is voluntary repossession, or bankruptcy the better option?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Thomas Vogele & Associates, APC
You should never consider bankruptcy as a means to get out from under a single bad contract such as this. Bankruptcy effects your financial life for ten years, making it difficult to function in today's financial world. If you have a bad car loan or lease, talk to the lender and try to work out a deal that cancels your exposure and avoids a default.
