Avoid Car Repossession Using an Accelerated Debt Program!

If you are not using debt reduction strategies, a car repossession can be a devastating event, especially if you need the car to get to work. Even if you consider using the public transportation for many of us it's not always a realistic alternative.

So the plain fact is - functioning without a car makes everything seem more difficult, and to add insult to injury, repossession leaves a deep scar on your credit history for 7 years.

Avoiding repossession in the first place can be accomplished if you act quickly enough. There are steps that you can take that each has its own advantages and disadvantages such as

Negotiating with your lender

• Requires credit history in relatively good shape
• Extending the term of the loan in order to lower the monthly payments
• Paying more in interest due to the longer term

Selling your vehicle

• First problem is to sell the car that is worth less than the loan amount currently outstanding.
• Second problem is to actually clear your name from the ownership of the car, you have to come up with the difference between the selling price and the outstanding loan amount.
• Last option is to find someone to take over your loan payment, assuming your loan agreement allows it and the lender approves it.

• Filing for bankruptcy buys you time to figure out what to do and stops repossession because of the automatic stay.
• Whether it is a Chapter 7 liquidation or Chapter 13 reorganization bankruptcy type you need an attorney to handle this complicated process.
• Upfront and significant attorney fees on your already strained finances unless you file a lawsuit against your lender that your attorney agrees to represent you on a contingent fee basis.
