Sooo... after paying my lawyer monthly payments for 6 or 7 months, I finally am paid up and ready to file!! I am starting to feel so FREE!!
Prior to this meeting, I had decided that I was going to keep both of my vehicles since my family needs both to get to work. Well, my lawyer INSISTS that I give up my vehicle due to high monthly payment and the fact that it's worth $20K and I owe $37K!! She says that she isn't planning on re-affirming my vehicle (just my other one that's financed through a credit union so it's safe) but I can still make payments to keep it, it just won't be counted on my credit. Now, I feel that I need my car payment to help rebuild my credit! It's the only 2 things that I'm current on!!
Thoughts?! Should I give up my Explorer and try and find something else? I really don't want to... my lawyer even gave me a guy's card that helps with getting you into a car while going through bankruptcy or post discharge.
