Frequently Asked Questions

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy may allow you to keep your vehicle, giving you up to 60 months to catch up on arrears so long as you keep payments current going forward. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy you usually cannot keep your vehicle. During your free consultation with a Boleman Law attorney these options will be fully explained.
Bankruptcy may stop vehicle repossession and can sometimes get the vehicle unlocked or returned even if it has been already repossessed. During your free consultation with a Boleman Law attorney these options will be fully explained.
Federal and state taxes may not be discharged in bankruptcy. However there are options which may allow taxes to be reduced or forgiven. During your free consultation with a Boleman Law attorney these options will be fully explained.

In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy the person turns over all of their non-exempt assets or property (vehicle, house, savings, for example) to a bankruptcy trustee who liquidates it and distributes the proceeds to the unsecured creditors such as credit card companies, medical bills or loans. People can usually keep most of their personal property (jewelry, tools, clothing, for example).

In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy the person files a payment plan with the bankruptcy trustee and agrees to pay all future debts on time while an affordable monthly payment plan allows them to pay back their creditors partially or in full over a three to five-year period. In return, the debtor can keep their property (home, vehicle and other assets) so long as the plan payments are made.
