Bankruptcy for car loans

Are you facing up to car loan debt? We know it can seem overwhelming, and it can be hard to know where to turn. At Harris & Partners, we have the experience to guide you through the different ways of dealing with your car debt, and help you decide whether bankruptcy is the right way to go. We believe that you should be aware of all the options available to you, as only then can you make a well-thought out decision, and know which one is best for your current and future car finance needs and your personal circumstances.

If you are bankrupt and have to hand back your car because you have fallen behind on payments, or the payment is too much compared to the value of the car, the car loan company debt for the shortfall will be part of the bankruptcy. If the car loan company then sells the car, you would no longer be responsible for the future payments or any shortfall between the sale price and the amount outstanding on your car finance agreement. When you are made the subject of bankruptcy proceedings, you can keep the car so long as payments are current and you plan on continuing to make them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had the pleasure to work with Radman during this extremely difficult time in my life. With the cost of everything skyrocketing, Radman walked me through, step by step this entire process. He has checked in to make sure im okay during this stressful time, we didnt even speak about the consolidation, just letting me know im not alone and doing what I need to do for my kids. This man has a heart of gold and keeps the human aspect of his job. I wouldn't have been able to maneuver through this without him. You have a genuinely kind person on your team. This man will be in my prayers everynight, just thanking him for being so kind in such a harsh world today.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly if I could give 10 stars I would. I appreciate this company for being patience with me. I felt like I was in a hole I couldn't dug my way out. They gave me no judgement for my situation;moreover, just guidance and support through this process.  I had a baby and it took me away from work and I found myself in a pickle. Thank you for helping feel less stress about finances.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a good experience with the debt relief agency. The team was professional, understanding, and explained the process clearly. I appreciated being able to ask questions without feeling judged, and the communication was helpful throughout the process.
Overall, I felt supported and would recommend them to anyone considering debt relief to do their research and see whether the service is right for their situation.
