Can I keep my car in bankruptcy by reaffirming the loan? Usually, but there may be consequences.
Most debtors can keep their vehicles when they file bankruptcy. A complication arises when a debtor has a vehicle loan. A competent Arizona bankruptcy lawyer will advise that to retain the car, the debtor may have to stick his neck on the line and reaffirm the car loan, making the bankruptcy null and void with respect to a huge debt. But there may be some alternatives.
