Cars and bankruptcy? (NEW government rules)

by Benny Mendlowitz on June 23, 2006

A quirk in the law was corrected today. Now, if you file for bankruptcy 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.

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.
