Hello. I am new to the forum and I searched but couldn't find the answer to this question.
I have two cars. Both are over the Ch. 13 910 day rule by a few months, and both are still being paid for. One has a KBB value of 19,000, and the other 10,000. I want to file a Chapter 13 and keep them both. My other debts are collectively about 20,000 (medical bills, credit cards, personal loans). No priority debts like child support, student loans, or tax arrears. The car worth 19K has an arrearage of around 9000 (9 payments). The other car is current. I owe much more than what they both are worth.
So I would like to cram them both (at the values listed above) into a Chapter 13. I don't qualify for a Ch. 7 right now because of the state income median. But I will in December. I just have to hold off on the overtime until then and I will. At that time, can I convert the Ch. 13 to a Ch. 7 in December (if I file Ch, 13 now)? Then when I filed the letter of intent after the Ch. 7, I would keep both cars by redemption of the market value (redemption loan).
Ok, so that's my plan. By what I have seen of the bankruptcy laws on different sites, I should be able to do this with one car. What I want to know is can I do it with two? Please let me know if I missed something or I am misinterpreting the law. Thanks in advance for your help!
