In many but in not all instances you can keep your car if you are made bankrupt.
If you are contemplating a bankruptcy please click the paragraphs below to review the bankruptcy rules and to review some case studies on how bankruptcy law impacts on cars. You may be able to identify a case study which matches your particular circumstances.

- Case Study 2 - Bankruptcy the retired person and the bankruptcy impact on his car

Should you, however, be considering a voluntary arrangement and wish to learn how to exclude the car from the individual voluntary arrangement proposal please view our Individual Voluntary Arrangement home page.
