Hartford, CT asked in Bankruptcy for New Jersey

Q: I filed Chpt 13 bankruptcy and want to convert to 7. I included my car and don’t want to leave the debt on cosigner

The only way my co-signer will agree on me converting if he can keep the car and he make payments. Is this possible?

A: Most likely, yes. This will be up to the lien holder, but as long as they remain current on the payments they should be able to keep the car.
