Date: Fri, 07/24/2009 - 11:24
I have a 2000 cadillac deville I bought 2 years ago for 10,000. I got a loan from capitalone auto finance at 10%. I lost my job about 5 months ago and just found another now....just in time for my car to break beyond repair. Long story short, it needs a new engine that just wouldnt be worth putting in. The car is now worth about $6,000 and that is about what I owe on it. Hers the catch....since being unemployed, I have maxed most of my credit cards and now I dont have any decent credit. I also am responsibe for half of a fata mortgage payment. With this car and about 15,000 in credit debt......would I be better off just having the car repoed and filling bankruptcy for everything? I feel like, with my income, I will never get out of this hole. I also go to school full time...what to do??
If you let the car go back you will be billed for what the remai
If you let the car go back you will be billed for what the remaining balance is after it is auctioned off. I am going through a similar situation right now.
