Repossession

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Repossession Attorneys in San Diego

Reliable Legal Support for Repossession Issues

We currently live in an economy where everything seems to be uncertain. Especially after the global tragedy of COVID-19, it is clear that the aftershock will have significant ripple effects for months or even years to come, as employers and employees alike struggle to maintain an income in a world slipping quickly towards recession. Despite the fact that you and many other hardworking Americans may not immediately have the funds available to pay all your debts on time, creditors and debt collectors quickly begin eying your assets, hoping to profit even when you are severely struggling, usually for circumstances outside of your hands.

It does not matter if you have been crippled by an onslaught of medical bills, lost your job due to pay-cuts, or simply need a little extra time – debt collectors are out to repossess anything they can get ahold of, especially objects of large value like your car. When you suspect creditors of threatening you with repossession, you need to quickly contact our repossession lawyers in San Diego. At the Debt Relief Legal Clinic, we can rapidly start the bankruptcy process that can save your car from being seized.

Protect Your Vehicle: How Bankruptcy Can Help

When creditors come skulking around trying to snatch your car, there is still hope. Filing for either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a great alternative for losing your only means of transportation, which is crucial to your ability to get to work, earn your salary, and pay off your debts in the first place. One of the greatest advantages of filing for either chapter is that you will instantly be granted an automatic stay.

If you have an “automatic stay,” there is no way that creditors can keep demanding you to make payments – debt collection is off the table. If they were in the process of taking your car, creditors must immediately halt in their actions.

Understanding the Advantages of Chapter 7 & Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

If you are unfamiliar with the process of bankruptcy, you may think it to be too overwhelming to apply for as you struggle to simply get through all your other forms. In reality, however, there are many advantages of bankruptcy that should outweigh any of your initial fears.

The benefits of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy include:

  • Possibilities for re-negotiating the amounts for your monthly bill, so you can afford more manageable payments
  • Being able to maintain possession of your car if you continue to make concise, regular payments as agreed upon through the repayment negotiation
  • Potential ability to have debts discharged not only for your repossessed vehicle but any remaining deficiency balances as well

The benefits of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy include:

  • The ability to finally afford to pay smaller, more manageable bills
  • Complete guarantee that creditors cannot seize your car, due to an automatic stay
  • Prohibition of harassment from debt collectors continuously threatening to repossess your vehicle

I had lots of life changes this past year and I knew what I needed to do financially and who to call. I met Mr. Colwell in 2002 when I needed support and a chapter 7. He also helped my husband with his chapter 13. I was so happy he was still in downtown SD all these years later and available to meet with me when I was ready. Mr. Colwell goes the extra mile for his clients! I really appreciated his time and extra time for a zoom mtg. during covid-19 pandemic to answer my additional questions prior to discharge! Financial Freedom is an awesome feeling! I'm looking forward to what comes next in life!! Won't be making the same mistakes. Live and learn! I recommend it! Thank you so much! Stay safe!

    “Even better, he seems to honestly care about the law he practices, and the people that these laws affect.”
    I can only give a review of the half-hour I spent with Mr. Colwell, but it was a half-hour very well spent. He seems like a stand-up guy with a lot of integrity. I went into his office fully expecting to be filing bankruptcy, but instead, he talked me out of it. I was prepared to defend a hard sell, and I didn't get that at all, it was a relaxed conversation, like two people chatting over a beer. It's obvious he knows what he's talking about and is able to put the law into language that even a layperson like me can understand. Even better, he seems to honestly care about the law he practices, and the people that these laws affect. While his services weren't right for my situation, I will definitely be recommending him to anyone who might end up needing a bankruptcy lawyer.

    “John C. Colwell makes every effort to get the help you need, with no catch! No hidden fees, costs, or surprises.”

    It it is a tremendous relief, there is such a business as Debt Relief Legal Clinic!! I learned about DRLC from a close friend who had to file chapter 7 some years ago. This place has 30 Years of Bankruptcy Experience and demonstrates a highly proficient and professional approach to personal debt matters. John C. Colwell makes every effort to get the help you need, with no catch! No hidden fees, costs, or surprises. He is very honest and upfront from your initial consultation, about the likelihood of the outcome of your case, and the process- which is simple and very straightforward. His fees are EXTREMELY reasonable considering the professional and efficient service provided- you can even make payments for the fees (worth every penny to walk away debt free!). As part of the process, you will learn, you are required to take a couple of online classes. The classes are designed to educate you, to manage your debt moving forward, and remaining debt-free...avoiding the trouble you got yourself into in the first place. The fact DRLC has a practice that not only eliminates or consolidates your debt (depending on your case), but guides you to to remain debt-free, shows the sign of a company with a true vested interest in your success of becoming (and staying) debt-free! You could not ask for anything more from a firm of this type. I HIGHLY recommend anyone feeling the pains or stress of being in debt to (at the very least), consider a consultation with DRLC. You will forever be grateful for a service of this type, that navigates you through a (seemingly) overwhelming process.

    “It is truly a "bankruptcy miracle", and you can have one, too. I can't say enough about DRLC!”
    Unfortunately, I had to file BK 13; but luckily, I found Debt Relief Legal Clinic. It was recommended by a friend who was worried about me because I originally filed pro se (without an attorney). I can't even imagine what would have happened if I had continued pro se. (Well, actually I do know: the case would've been dismissed immediately, and I would've been screwed) But the brilliance of this team has kept my case alive for over a year now, and I can't thank them enough! It is truly a "bankruptcy miracle", and you can have one, too. I can't say enough about DRLC, but let me put it simply, You're CRAZY if you use anyone else or represent yourself! ;)
