Chapter 13 Relief From Auto Repossession
If you are behind on your car payments because of financial problems, your car can be repossessed without notice. Even after the lender auctions your car, you could still be on the hook for any remaining balance!
The law office of Miner Martin & Hahn, PLC, can help you prevent vehicle repossession by filing for bankruptcy protection. It may even be possible to get your car or truck back if it has already been repossessed. Our Harrisonburg law firm handles personal bankruptcy in Rockingham County and throughout the Shenandoah Valley.

Bankruptcy Stops Repossession
Filing for bankruptcy invokes an automatic stay against creditors, including the bank or finance company that holds the note on your car. Under bankruptcy protection, lenders cannot repossess your car or hire a repo company to do so. They cannot harass you or take you to court.
In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will be allowed to keep your vehicle and pay the arrears over time if you can keep up with the current payments. Our attorneys can also explore whether you qualify for a Chapter 13 "cramdown," which reduces your remaining car payments.
