Car Leases and Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Have a leased car and filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy?  What will happen to your car?  These questions are up to you.  You can choose to either continue making the monthly lease payments and keep the car or you can surrender the car back to the creditor (the company you leased it from).

In a chapter 7 bankruptcy, if you surrender the leased car and give it back to the company you leased it from, you can eliminate any obligation to repay the debt in your Chapter 7 bankruptcy case.  You do have choices in a chapter 7 as to debts you wish to reaffirm.  This is one of those choices.

Chapter 7 Unsecured Debt vs. Secured Debt

Keep in mind, filing for Chapter 7 will only discharged your unsecured debt.  These would be debts like:  credit card debt, medical bills, and other bills that collectors will call about.  At the same time, not paying on unsecured debt allows creditors to sue you and get a judgement against you.  The creditors cannot take your property without first suing you.  Regardless, it becomes a moot point if you file for a Mesa chapter 7 bankruptcy in Arizona.

Also in a chapter 7 bankruptcy, a secured debt, (such as houses and cars), would still have to be paid in order to keep those items.  You would in those cases be able to keep your home and car in a chapter 7 bankruptcy filing.  Contact our Mesa debt relief team today for a free case evaluation.
