Are you dealing with the shock of having wages suddenly garnished from your paycheck by creditors?

If your car has been repossessed, you can get it back by filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy so long as the vehicle hasn't already been resold. A Chapter 13 strategy allows you to restructure your payment plan to make it more manageable. The moment you file for bankruptcy, the court issues an "automatic stay" that forbids your creditors from making any further attempts at collections, including repossession.

However, the creditor has the right to contest this motion, so you should have an experienced lawyer to represent you.
