Re: bankruptcy

First they would have to apply to the court for permission to repossess the car. If they are successful then they can sell it at auction. The amount that they get at auction would be far less than what you would owe. You would then be responsible for the difference.

Why did you file chapter 11. The cost is prohibitively high in both filing fees and legal fees?

If you need further legal fees, please feel free to contact me.
