What to do if I filed Chapter 7 and my vehicle loan matured a month after but the lender isn’t wiling to reaffirm the loan?
I was informed that lender has charged off $4120 debt but saidthat if I pay the balance I could keep the vehicle. Will I or will the trustee and the courts order the sale of the vehicle anyway since the allowance for cars in my state is $3450. I tried looking into redemption loans but raised the question, is it worth it if its taken or sold in the end. Couldn’t afford an attorney so I did all myself.

If the lender will not reaffirm the secured loan for thevehicle that you are making payments on pending your Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing then under the law you will have to return the vehicle in exchange from being excused from any further payments under the loan. The above is your option.
