I have a vehicle that is cosigned with my parents. My parents declared bankruptcy but did a reaffirmation. Now they just got there discharge papers yesterday. Well I am 3 months behind on the vehicle. I have the money to pay but I was going to use that money to file.
Now the vehicle is a 2001 and I owe about 9500 on it and it is worth about 5500. My attorney said to let it go in bankruptcy but then my mom would be stuck with the deficiency balance and I imagine would be sued. My attorney said he most likely could negotiate a lower balance for the vehicle and I keep making payments. But would I then be responsible for making up those three payments plus the regular payments?
The truck is financed with Citi Auto Financial. Also I wanted to ask has anyone been able to negotiate a lower balance with the lender?
If a lower balance were negotiated I would most likely then refinance the balance with someone else to get it out of Citi's hands.
