Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California
car reaffirmation
I have a 2007 Escalade that I don't want to get rid of in my ch.7 bankruptcy. I have an upside down lease with a monthly payment of $2200. $1500 is for the car and $700 for the negative on my trade in. Can the court remove the negative so that my payments are only $!500? Also, can I reaffirm the auto? No one will give me a new loan.

Re: car reaffirmation
I would safely guess that no bankruptcy court will approve a reaffirmation of a $1,500 vehicle loan. You probably can't afford gasoline for the Escalade, anyway.
