You betcha.

Meaning, you could eliminate personal liability on the auto loan deficiency.

This is strictly my opinion provided for general informational purposes and pertains to California law only; its reading does not create an attorney-client relationship.

We recommend you seek legal and other professional counsel before acting or refraining from action in relation to bankruptcy. It's worth the cost.

I'm not sure what you mean by "erase" the repossession. You won't get the vehicle back, but certainly you could wipe out any deficiency -- the amount of the loan minus the amount paid for the vehicle at auction. Feel free to e-mail me directly if you need further assistance.
