When is a good time to file for Bankruptcy? before or after foreclosure?

I received a letter in the mail from an attorney. My lender wants to start the foreclosure proceedings. At the moment, I am 11 months behind on my mortgage. I want to dump the house as I owe 20% more than it is worth. What happens if I file for bankruptcy right away? Does that cover the foreclosure too?? Or would the bank come after me after it sells my condo for the difference? I have a 10,000 in credit card debt and 9000 auto loan. I have been unemployed for quite sometime without having luck finding a job. Even my unemployment has ran out at the moment. I don’t have any assets unless furniture counts? Bankruptcy is a must for me but I cant decide if I should do it before or after the foreclosure

I live in Illinois

Will having a prior vehicle repo be a problem when trying to buy a used vehicle?

I need a new vehicle, I had a vehicle repo’d two years ago and filed bankruptcy one year ago. The bankruptcy I know will be an issue as far as an auto loan goes, but will the repo also cause a potential issue too? Will they even find out about the repo?

File Bankruptcy to keep car, and rebuild credit?

I purchased a vehicle about 3 years ago. After the economic disaster 2 years ago, I was devistated and unable to pay my debts. I am currently almost 2 years behind on my car payments, and all other debts such as credit cards etc. The only reason my car has not been repossed yet is because I soon moved to an undisclosed location so that I can return to college. At this point, I still have not been able to find a stable income to pay my debts. I’m certain that by now, my credit is already ruined. The fact of the matter is I need my car and turning it over is not an option; however, I can not go on forever without doing anything.

My question is… How can I keep my car in my current situation by filing bankruptcy? Could the debt be totally wiped clean, or would there be some alternative payment plan set up?
After checking, The auto loan was actually charged off by the bank one year ago. Before making any contacts, I need to know if it is possible to still keep the car.

Should I file for Bankruptcy?

I’m 20 years old and about to go through a divorce. I have a CC in only my name that my husband has run up to ,000 in debt. I also have ,000 in student loans. I am co-signed on his ,000 + car loan and I am the primary on my ,000 auto loan. If I file how will it affect our cars. I can afford to pay my monthly payment although it is steep. BTW it wasn’t my idea to get expensive cars! Also my wedding ring went missing a couple monthes ago when I took it off to do dishes. Can he legally get me to pay him back for the ring?
My car is only worth 000. The other 000 on top of it is negative equity from previous vehicles my husband kept on trading in for "better" cars. I can afford to pay for my car. I am co-signed on my husbands car b/c if I didn’t I would have been the only name on his other car. He has bad credit too. I had great credit BTW before I met him. He’s been through so many cars I’ve lost count.

After filing bankruptcy I checked my credit on-line. What does a charge off mean.?

O.k. I filed bankrupcty 2 months ago and I checked my credit online. All my credit cards say "BANKRUPTCY CHAPTER 7, XPN: Account closed at grantors request" But my auto loan says its still open and has 2 charge offs maybe its from the loan and then when they repoed my car. At the bottom of it, it says "Comments: XPN: Amt Past Due Value is Charge Off Amt" Does this mean im done with them or are they going to try and make me pay it. Also they wrote Was "Derogatory". under payment history. Help me out please.

What happens when a co-signer files bankruptcy?

We are the co-signer on an auto loan for a relative. We are having to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I need to know how exactly that will affect the main borrower. We are planning on "reaffirming" the loan, so that the person will not lose the car.

Will this mean that we will be removed from the loan and the main borrower will be responsible for all payments and keep the vehicle? Or will it mean that we will still be on the loan after the bankruptcy? Or what are the other possibilities?

How does it work when you file for bankruptcy?

I know the laws have changed in the past year or so. What are the pros and cons? If we currently have an auto loan, would we have to surrender the vehicle?

What happens to the co-signer on my loan when I file bankruptcy?

I filled bankruptcy last week with plans to reaffirm the auto loan and keep the car. Mostly because my dad is the co-signer.

Today I tried to make a payment only to find the loan has been sold to some other company, and now I fear they will change the interest rates and add fees. Is this what will happen? What would happen to the co-signer if I decide to return the car and discharge the loan?
