| What are the after effects? What is the name of your state? Virginia
My debts were discharged under Chapter 7 in March of 2004, so about one year has passed. I may have to buy a new car this summer, since mine is pretty old at this point. The old car I will be selling is paid for, so no outstanding loan on it. My question is, how will my bankruptcy affect my getting financed for a car? I get offers all the time from car dealerships promising me a new car even though I've decalred bankruptcy. I'm kinda wary of these offers. By considering the purchase of a car this soon after bankruptcy, I feel like I may be walking into a slaughterhouse, in terms of interest rates--if I can even get financed. Any advice?
P.S. I belong to a federal credit union, but somehow I doubt they are going to offer me financing. |
