I've been a lurker for quite some time (since the Fall 2007) and have found the forum to be quite informative and got me thru some rough times. I originally was told by my lawyer that I would qualify for Chapter 7 and after I signed the paperwork to fill my case, I was told that I didn't qualify for a chapter 7 and would need to go the chapter 13 route. I also had Citifinacial file a lawsuit against me after missing only three payments- luckily I was able to file chapter 13 a week before the scheduled court appearance..
My question- do I need the trustee permission to sell or trade-in my car? The car was included in the chapter 13 plan- at the time I filed I had only one payment left. I received a phone call from the trustee's office earlier in the week- telling me that the Chrysler mailed the car title to them since its paid off. The trustee's office said that they would be mailing the title to me this week. I know that I need the trustee's permission to take out a loan to purchase a vehicle- but do I need the permission of the trustee to sell or trade-in the car that I have the title to? I plan on having to replace the car in two years..
