Confused how to handle my car when filing Chapter 7

Posted on: 28th Sep, 2012 12:51 am
The car is through a loan with a bank and my parents name is on the loan. I pay my parents the car payment every month. I know cars are typically secured debts. I know that they are usually exempt but is the case same since the car isn't in my name? Will this be treated as a preferential treatment?
Hi Sam,

The car loan was not in your name. In such a case, you're not liable for the debt. So, you won't have to include the debt in your bankruptcy filing. Thus, I don't think the car will be in a jeopardy.

Take care
