Whether or not you can keep your car if you file for bankruptcy in Florida will depend on several factors, including the type of bankruptcy you file, the equity you have in your car, and your ability to continue making payments on your car loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Florida, individuals who file for bankruptcy may be able to keep their car if they file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Here are some things to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It's important to note that if you are behind on your car payments and want to keep your car in bankruptcy, you will need to catch up on your payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may be able to reaffirm your car loan, which means you agree to continue making payments on your car loan, and the lender consents not to repossess your car as long as you make your payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your car loan is included in your repayment plan, and you must make all payments under the plan to keep your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
