(NEW government rules)</title><content type='html'>A quirk in the law was corrected today.  Now, if you file for &lt;a href="http://www.bankruptcy-scarborough.com/bankruptcy-scarborough.htm"&gt;bankruptcy&lt;/a&gt; and your car is worth less that $5,650, you may keep it.  (Under the old rules, you had to give it to your trustee.)  If your car is worth more than $5,650 and you want to keep it, you will have to pay your trustee the difference.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This change will allow people who have to file for bankruptcy a better chance of starting over without any additional pressures being put on them.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like some more information about this topic or have any other bankruptcy related questions,  &lt;a href="http://www.bankruptcy-scarborough.com/askus.htm"&gt;e-mail&lt;/a&gt; or call us at 310-PLAN.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.bankruptcy-scarborough.com/2006/06/cars-and-bankruptcy-new-government.html' title='Cars and bankruptcy?
