I'm going to be filing chapter 13 next week and I was wondering what happens to car loans. I'm behind about 3 months and my loan balance is about $14,500 with a 15.9 rate but the car is only worth about $7,000. My monthly payments are $310 a month. Will my payments be lowered in the chapter 13 and will I only have to pay what the car is worth? I really wish I could just give the car up a get a new one, but that is unlikely.
Also, I refinanced with a different company about a year ago because my rate was at 23% and the new company never got the title. I currently have the title and it still lists the old company. So my question is, would the new company need to have the title in hand before they can try to repo my car. I got a message from them today checking the status of the tile because I was supposed to have it corrected and mailed to them. He even said they are more concerned with getting the new title than my payments. So I'm thinking they are bugging me for that so they can try to repo my car. So I should probably hang on to the title a little longer until I get my BK filed. Is this correct.
