H was the only one on the loan and the only one on title. H and W get divorced and the W is awarded the vehicle in the divorce. Nobody makes payments on the vehicle for a period and lender attempts to repossess the vehicle. W files Chapter 13 BK. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Generally, I don’t think that the divorce decree has any bearing on the lender’s rights, but does the divorce decree or even simply W’s possession of the vehicle give W the right to include the lender as a secured creditor in the bankruptcy? Does filing bankruptcy protect W from having the vehicle repossessed given that she is not on the loan or title?<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I appreciate any thoughts or legal authority on this and would love to chat with someone knowledgeable in these matters.
