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!!!

Where to begin…you know I accept the fact that life is unfair but WTF did I do to deserve to be in the situation I’m in now. Well my life sucks and I have no clue how to make it any better. This story starts about 6 years when I gave up on feeling anything and realized I am depressed but I did not let it get to me because I have a vanity that burns greater than anything, it consider it my most prized possession that no one can take away. So I even accept the fact that I’m depressed but I move on and put a mask on that I’m just great and nothing wrong. Anyway my rich grandmother died and left all the grand kids 0,000 but she put it in a account with a trustee and my uncle who was the trustee took all the money and left the country. So I’m out 0,000 and on top of that my grandmother had a family company that my other uncle stole and bankrupted and took all the money to himself and left my mother and other uncle with nothing from that. Aside form easy money my mother was a real estate broker and the market dried up 6 years ago and now we are poor. On top of all that my parents got a divorce when I was 13. Let’s fast forward, to 2009. I had few friends in high school, never had a girlfriend and hated most of the people there. I finished high school and my parents have no money for school and no one will cosign with me for a student loan so I am forced to go to a community college even tho I am much smarter than that. Also I live in the suburbs so I can’t walk anywhere and got no car and can’t a job because I got no ride. Also the job market is awful and it’s so hard to find a job. The money I saved over the years I used to pay for my classes and books with no help form anyone. My mother was not getting paid on time at her old job and she foreclosed on the house and we have to get out by next month to a apartment. I am 19 and I feel my life passing me by without even living and that makes me very depressed because I am very nice person who will go out of the way to help someone and do charity work at my church sometimes. The fact that I could have had it all with that 0,000 is the biggest slap in the face ever. So everyone else is busy doing their own thing looking out for themselves and no one care about me. IDK I hope things get better, any help or input would be nice.

Also I think I kinda ugly too so any self improvement tip are welcomed, sorry for it being so long but I feel a lot better having all this off my chest.

My ex and I bought the house 3 years ago, and have been equally paying it off, after he cheated last december and we split.
I tried to get the house, but the bank said I couldnt do it alone (even tho, I can make the payments) If he goes bankrupt, does the house get automatically transferred to my name, or do I lose the house? or do I get the opportunity to get the house? I am freaking out, coz I dont want to lose my house.
I am renting it out at the moment for half the cost of the mortgage.
Any serious help and advice is sooo appreciated.
Thank you

I am not eligible to receive a student loan by myself because of my young credit of only about a year even tho I have an excellent score.
I am not able to have my parents cosign for me because they are coming out of bankruptcy a little over a year out and have re established their score. but the loan companies and banks say it needs to be 2 years. I recently transfered to a very expensive school. I did receive a scholarship, but it doesn’t quite cover the cost, which including housing is around 40k per year. I have excellent grades deans and presidents list every quarter of my 3 year length college career.
But what I really do not understand is how on a deferred student loan you are required to have a co-signer when they can be removed as your co signer after 18- 24 months.
This does not make much sense to me and if anyone has any kind of alternative ideas comments or solutions I would appreciate everything I can get my hands on.

Thank you
