Chapter 7 Surrender Car to Carmax

[rodbite2104]

Does anyone have experience surrendering a car to Caramax Finance? I just filed a week ago and just trying to gauge how much time I have before needing another vehicle. Also, do they snatch the car when unexpected or do they set up a date?

So you dont want it at all? Did you not reaffirm the auto loan? You can pay and drive and turn it in anytime you want. maybe after finding another vehicle. but that will probably have higher pre BK interest.

Yes, I reaffirmed but the lawyer said today he would do an amendment. I plan to save 5-7k and buy a cash-beater car.

Ok. No telling when they'd retrieve it. Some still have their cars after not making payments. Once it changes to non-affirm it will just be a IIB on your file and not a repo.
