How does a 722 redemption work?
If you have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy or plan to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy then a 722 Redemption Loan is something you should be aware of. It allows you to keep the car you have instead of losing it in difficult times. Even if you owe more money on your automobile then it is currently valued at, a 722 Redemption Loan can make it possible for you to take control of your current financing troubles.
There is a bankruptcy law that benefits Chapter 7 filers, but it is based on their individual case. The Car Redemption law, 11 USC § 722 "Redemption" says that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filer that is upside down on their loan (owes more on the car then it is worth) can have the courts force the current lender to release the lien on the vehicle to the filer so they own the car outright.
The only issue is that the filer has to payout the value of the car in cash to their current lender. Take for example:
• Car Value = $4,000
Amount owed to current lender = $10,000
The filer must pay out $4,000 in cash to the current lender to be given the lien to the car. In the extremely rare case that the filer has $4,000 to pay their current lender they can own the car, but this is generally not the case of a Chapter 7 filer.
A 722 Redemption Loan eases the difficulties of paying the current lender. The filer can apply for a new loan to cover the costs of the amount owed on the loan. Thus, lowering their monthly payments and the loan balance so they can keep the car they have and get a fresh start!
The 722 Redemption Loan must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court and handled by your bankruptcy lawyer. Upon qualification, you can start Lowering Your Monthly Payments and Loan Balance. There is no down payment required on the loan; all fees for legal services are included in the loan. A 722 Redemption Loan is often called Car Redemption, Redemption Car Loan, and sometimes just a 722 Redemption. If you have a bankruptcy lawyer already or plan to file Chapter 7 then make sure to ask them about it. Talk to a local bankruptcy lawyer to find out if you qualify to file bankruptcy. There is no harm is hearing how you can regain control of your finances! Also, there is no fee for a consultation and you are not obligated to use the services being offered to you. There is a way to keep your car even after you have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy and it is a 722 Redemption Loan.
The Benefits of a 722 Redemption Loan are:
• Lower Interest Rates - Help in lowering your current Car Loan and Car APR
• Simple Payments - A payment plan that meets your budget
• Rate Reduction Program - After several months of continued on time payment your financing rate will
automatically be lowered.
• We work with you - We want to match you with the best loan to help you through this time.
• Rebuild your Credit - All credit agencies will review your loan status and if positive, increase your credit
score!
Do I need car insurance to get a loan?
Car insurance is insurance purchased for cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Its primary use is to provide protection against losses incurred as a result of traffic accidents and against liability that could be incurred in an accident. Vehicle insurance can cover some or all of the following items:
• The insured party
• The insured vehicle
• Third parties (car and people)
In some States coverage for injuries to persons riding in the insured vehicle is available without regard to fault in the auto accident (No Fault Auto Insurance). Different policies specify the circumstances under which each item is covered. For example, a vehicle can be insured against theft, fire damage, or accident damage independently. We recommend you get a car insurance quote to save time and/or money
