Preventing Car Or Truck Repossession

Losing your car, truck or other vehicles can be devastating, especially when you are facing financial difficulty. Without transportation, it becomes even harder to get to your job and find ways to pay off your bills. To prevent this from happening, you need the assistance of an attorney who is well-versed in repossession, bankruptcy and debt relief in New York.

At O'Connor First in Albany, we have the insight and experience to help you keep your car or truck after falling behind on payments. Our attorneys can help you explore your bankruptcy or debt relief options, so you can get a fresh start without sacrificing the necessities.

Your Best Option: Restructure Your Auto Loans

Because your lender will likely demand that you bring the loan current (get caught up on payments), Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often the best option for debt relief. This option allows you to catch up on your car and truck payments, and then restructure the remaining portion of the loan. The end result is that you will be able to keep your vehicle, and your future payments will be set at a manageable level.

Our attorneys are also equipped to help those clients get their vehicles back after they have been repossessed. However, there is a limited timeframe in which this is possible, so it is vital to contact us as soon as possible if your car has been repossessed.
