What happens when you can no longer afford your car payment?

For many people, losing a vehicle can also mean losing reliable transportation to work and other necessities. But falling behind on an auto loan can create another problem: repossession does not necessarily eliminate the debt.

After a repossessed vehicle is sold, a borrower may still owe a deficiency balance. Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy may provide options depending on the circumstances.

A major September 2026 multistate settlement involving subprime auto lender Credit Acceptance Corporation has brought renewed attention to unaffordable vehicle loans and repossessions.

In our latest article, we explain what Illinois consumers should know about unaffordable car loans, repossession, deficiency balances, and bankruptcy.

Independence Day is a time to reflect on freedom, family, and the opportunity to move forward.

For many people, overwhelming debt can make that kind of freedom feel out of reach. Credit card balances, medical bills, lawsuits, wage garnishments, and collection calls can create stress that affects every part of daily life.
Bankruptcy may provide a legal path toward a fresh financial beginning.

In our latest article, Joseph Wrobel explains how bankruptcy can help individuals and families understand their options, stop certain creditor actions, and begin rebuilding with greater confidence.

Many people wait far too long before speaking with a bankruptcy attorney. By the time they finally ask for help, they may already be facing wage garnishments, foreclosure notices, repossession threats, or mounting credit card balances used just to pay for groceries and utilities.

One of the most dangerous financial mistakes people make is draining protected retirement accounts like 401(k)s in an attempt to keep up with unsecured debt. In many situations, bankruptcy protection could have preserved those assets while stopping aggressive collection actions.

Some of the most common warning signs that it may be time to consider bankruptcy include:
• Wage garnishment taking part of your paycheck
• Foreclosure or repossession threats
• Using credit cards for necessities like food or medicine
• No realistic path to paying off debt within five years

Bankruptcy laws exist to provide legal protection and financial relief for individuals and families facing overwhelming debt. Taking action early may help preserve your income, assets, and long-term financial stability.

Attorney Joseph Wrobel discusses these important warning signs in our newest article.
