Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Indiana

recent purchases and filing bankruptcy

I recently took out a loan to purchase a car and used a motorcycle as collateral. If I chose to reaffirm this debt, could I still keep the car and motorcycle?

Probably-it depends on whether or not the Trustee would consider the cycle to be a luxury item-particularly if the payment is large and the Trustee could argue the money could go to repay creditors. depending on your other debts, Chapter 13 might be an option where you would only have to repay the value of the cycle. Consult a bankruptcy atty-there is no charge for the intial consultation
