Bankruptcy Car Sales: Selling Your Vehicle

Bankruptcy Car Sales: Selling Your Vehicle

Bankruptcy Car Sales

Are you in bankruptcy and thinking about selling your car? Think again! The sale of a vehicle in bankruptcy is strictly prohibited. When you file for bankruptcy you are required to give a complete list of all assets and debts for your attorney and judge to determine what can be either liquidated or repaid.

Selling your automobile before your bankruptcy is discharged can result in being charged with bankruptcy fraud. It is an offense punishable up to five years in prison and/or $250,000. Your best bet if you want to get rid of car is to sell it before bk or surrender the vehicle to the bankruptcy and get a new car with auto financing after bankruptcy.

What Are My Other Options?

Being upfront with your attorney and listing your vehicle as an asset is highly recommended. You have three options redeeming, surrendering, and reaffirming. Redeeming and reaffirming allows you to keep your vehicle, while surrendering allows you to walk away from the loan without owing another penny. Your attorney will be able to advise in what is the best option for you financially.

If you choose to surrender your car and want to buy another you will need to figure out your budget. You can use our bankruptcy auto loan calculator to determine what your monthly payment would be with a down payment and all of your monthly expenses.
