I'm considering filing Chpt7. I have a car through Ford credit that I had bought for my daughter, but is in my name. She stopped paying for it 6 mos ago. I've been making the payments since. I was going to let the car go anyway because I don't need 2 cars, but I'm trying to think of when it would be best to stop payments. How long does it usually take for a car to be repoed, auctioned, and Ford to come after me for the balance? The car has about 5 grand negative equity. How long would I have to file BK after the repo to prevent wage garnishment? I'm thinking of stopping all cc payments and this car payment as of Feb 1st and filing by mid March... Thinking this would give me time to save money for Lawyer fees and such.
