Can I file Chapter 7 in order to stop a repossession or foreclosure?
If you are considering filing bankruptcy in order to save your home from foreclosure or avoid repossession of a car, Chapter 7 may not be your best option. This is because Chapter 7 bankruptcy does not eliminate the right of banks or car loan creditors to foreclose on your home or property to cover your debt. If you want to stop a repossession or foreclosure, you should consider your options under a Chapter 13 debt consolidation.
