Car loan
Hi, I have a car loan for $10,400. So far I have made 2 monthly payments of $224. .01 towards it. Is there any way I can file bankruptcy and still agree to pay my car payments? Will the leander cancel my loan and ask for the car back?

Technically speaking this is up to the lender. A bankruptcy operates to deal with unsecured debt, but the average secured loan agreement gives the lender the right to call the loan and seize the property in question. This doens’t mean every secured lender is going to exercise this right, only that they have a decision that needs to be made.
In most cases, as long as you are current with the payment, the lender will prefer to see you keep the vehicle and make the payments as originally contracted. This will be an important topic to discuss with a local trustee as they will be able to provide direction on how best to proceed given the practices in your area and will likely have an idea of how the lender in question typically reacts.
