Can my soon ex-husband to be file bankruptcy on our car and me be just SOL, and not be informed?

He’s already done enough damage…Too much to write down…I am getting him credit for paying for the other car and some other things…Just to help me stay in the game…But he took our brand new car and is not even paying the notes and is driving it around with no insurance…When it comes time…And he will…File bankruptcy because he already has one repossession on his report…If he files bankruptcy on this car we have together…How will this affect me?…Will I have to sign something before he can do the bankruptcy thing?

Should I keep trying to refinance my auto loan(if possible) or file bankruptcy?

Ok,I’m 25 and I just got a 04 Pontiac Grand Prix with 112,109 miles on it,for ,000 but got slammed with a 21% interest rate. I tried before hand to get a lender/bank/credit union going in but No one would fiance me because I have 540 credit score. I had to take the deal because the truck I had was a gas hog and was falling apart and I need a way to get to work, so I sold that to get the down payment for the Pontiac.Here the issue,I have had it for 3 months and I have no problem paying the car note(1-a month) but when the economy shot 2 year ago and my job gave pick slips to me and hundred of people,unfortunately I had lost my home and voluntary returned a 02 Monte Carlo to the bank.As you may know now I have a for-closer and an repossession on my credit which is the reason for the low score. I currently have had a job now for the past two years so I making it even tho it get ruff at times with other things like college and apartment bills. I cant find any lender on the net to refinance a car with that many miles and it doest help that my credit score is so low. I was told that since I’m still young I should file bankruptcy to clear my dept and start over now. The only issue I have is I want to keep the car I just got but is there a way in the bankruptcy that I can keep the car and get the lender/bank to lower the interest rate so I can keep it?Or do I have to give it back or keep it out of the filing altogether? I’m a perfect example of bad thing happening to good people because I held a job all life and payed bills on time but you know what the say "sh** happens" Please provide me with some good meaningful advice .on what the best possible decision Thanks!!!

When is it appropriate to file bankruptcy?

My husband is 21, unfortunately he has made some horrible decisions in his life regarding money. He is now considered ‘high risk’ by EVERY loan company you can think of, including the NO CREDIT BAD CREDIT NO PROBLEM people, lol. Now his (not mine, my name is not on it, and please remember, I just recently became his wife!) car is up for repossession. He leaves for basic in January, and that will solve many of our money problems. However, we NEED this car, myself and my daughter, while he is in basic and up until that time. How long will it take them to come get it? And the real question I am asking is–with his credit being this horrible, and owing all this money that’s so terribly behind, should he just file bankruptcy?? I know it will freeze the repo and we can at least keep the car. He is only 21, I know that is young, but his credit report is four pages long–of crap he still owes. Would it be better to start over even with a bankruptcy? (my credit is good.)
That is–keep the car for an undetermined amount of time. His mother (imagine that, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree) filed bankruptcy earlier this year and drove her truck for free for over six months.

Do you lose or keep your primary residence if you file bankruptcy?

I’ve been looking at an informational site and couldn’t find anything that would answer this question plain and simple. For Chapter 7 it said you could keep clothes and furnishings and something else but it wasn’t house. It said everything of value had to be liquidated to pay the debts. For Chapter 13 it said something about mortgage, but it made it sound like it had to be paid off in 5 years, which I know for what my sister owes on her house, she’d only come close if they weren’t charging any interest during that time. If worse comes to worse for my sister and she ends up with her cars going into repossession and house into foreclosure, and she files bankruptcy, can she keep her house and one car, or would she have to sell them and start from rock bottom all over again?

After chapter 7 will I be able to keep my credit card accounts with $0 balance to help rebuild my credit score?

I have a past repossession due to job loss for over 34k and they are charging me interest a day. I have 6 credit cards with chase, capital one, and a home depot card, these will not be included in the chapter 7 because I don’t own any on these cards. Thanks for you help.
