Re: Bankruptcy Infomation regarding someone on Disablility

Dear Reader:

In examining this response, please note that we are not entering into an attorney/client relationship, that this is to be taken as informative, and not as legal advice, that it is always best to speak to a lawyer in your area and/or in the area where the transaction and/or events occurred, and that my answer is necessarily limited by the fact that I have not seen the documentation or had an opportunity to go over the matters with you in detail.

You may be able to make a deal with the bank to avoid repossession, but that will depend on your ability to make payments later. As I mentioned before, this is something that you will want to take up with a volume bankruptcy lawyer of your own selection, either in your area. Check the classified section of your local paper.
