Hello All,
I will keep this succinct. Any more info that you need let me know. Filing chapter 7 in Ohio (well under the requirements), pro se. 9k of consumer debt, 80k in private student loans (no govt backing) that I actually plan to file an adversary against (I know I know, but in my opinion nothing beats a failure but a try). Anyways 9k may not be a lot but hell I am drowning. Even moved into a low income community with my kids to stay afloat and I still can't.
So my question. I just got a new, used car in March. I'm current on my payments. They are very reasonable at 164 a month. The warranty is going out next March and I'd like to trade it in to another vehicle that's under warranty, that's used. I am scared to death of car repairs 1. I can't afford them, 2. They're partly the reason I'm in the situation I'm in now from previous cars.
So knowing this information, should I reaffirm my car? I'm nervous about not reaffirming because 1. I'm afraid that I will not get to trade next year at this time because of my bk and 2. No one will match the current interest rate of 7.9% that I'm at now which is excellent for my credit. Any thoughts? Meeting with lawyers for free consults to see their thoughts but would like yours too.
