What Happens to Bankruptcy Leased Vehicles in Tennessee?

Bankruptcy Leased Vehicles

A car is one of the most important factors to everyday life. Most people depend on their vehicle to get to and from work and pay your bills is essential and this is why we are often asked what will happen to a leased vehicle in a Tennessee bankruptcy? In previous posts we have discussed ways you can keep you vehicle if you own or finance a vehicle in bankruptcy, but today we will discuss a leased vehicle.

Vehicle Leasing Options in Bankruptcy

Leasing a vehicle does not give you the ownership value that financing does, but you do still have rights. You can assume the lease and continue making payments as if the bankruptcy was never filed. If you want to assume the lease then you must notify your Tennessee lender in writing. Before you can do this you must get permission from either your Tennessee trustee or bankruptcy judge. They will decide if they believe assuming the lease is necessary, but if they believe it will create a financial hardship to you they may deny the request. Should this happen you do have other options.

If your request to assume the lease was denied, or you simply decided that it might not have been the most financially responsible decision to keep the car, you can reject the lease. This means you are giving the vehicle back to your Tennessee creditor and essentially wiping your hands free form the lease. But, then how will you get around?
