Can I claim the 401k loan in my bankruptcy?

Daniel J. Winter
Answered by attorney Daniel J. Winter (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Daniel J. Winter
The short answer is no. This is a required loan to pay. You are essentially paying your retirement plan back. If you stop paying on the 401k loan, you will be in default, and your 401k would probably have to be cashed, with penalties, to take care of it. Then, you'll be taxed on whatever isn't paid back. Before stopping your payments or cashing your 401k, you should talk to an accountant. And, if you have other debts as well, you should call a bankruptcy lawyer asap.

Can a car company come after me if they repossess my car after I file bankruptcy?

Yes. If you filed first (and reaffirmed the debt) and later, you default on your obligation, and they repossess the car, they can come after you for the balance.
