I went through bankruptcy, & I got to keep my car.. there is "limit" on how much your car is worth in the "Black Book" & if you still owe on the car, then it's also up to the company that you have the loan with.. My car was in the Clear for the Black Book, & the company I had the loan with said they will give me some time to get caught up & if I keep on track , then there is no reason to take my car away. 2yrs later I now OWN my car.
Please don't think that every that goes into bankruptcy used it as a free ticket. My ex (long term b/f) left me with an insane amount of debt. I tried to keep it under control, but I just couldn't afford it & food at the same time... Then the bills grew out of control & I was getting behind... Before my credit took a dive through doo doo creak, I tried to get help.. they refused me, so I was stuck with bankruptcy... best thing I did.. loads of stress releaved & I was off to a fresh start on my own.
Not sure how things work in the USA though... I only know Ontario, Canada's laws, & only some of them...
