In 2026, many car owners find themselves "underwater"—owing $20,000 on a vehicle that's now only worth $12,000. Did you know bankruptcy offers a specific tool to fix this? 🚙

Redeem Your Vehicle: Under Section 722 of the Bankruptcy Code, you can often "redeem" your car by paying the creditor its current fair market value in a lump sum.

Wipe Out Negative Equity: The remaining $8,000 you owed is treated as unsecured debt and can be totally discharged.

Lower Your Burden: This allows you to keep your reliable transportation without being trapped by an upside-down loan.

While this requires a lump sum payment, specialized options often exist to help you finance this "redemption" during your case. Rivera Law Firm, P.A. helps you evaluate if this powerful strategy is the right move for your vehicle.

Find out if you can lower your car debt to its actual market value.
