Just file the BK and list the car debt. however, you may lose the car if it is not paid off when you file BK. I would try to pay the car off before filing BK. If you cannot, then just file the claim and see what happens. I do not have enough information to determine whether you will qualify for BK as i do not know your financial condition, income, assets or otherwise. I suggest contacting a lawyer to advise you after you provide more information.
