What Assets can be Taken in Bankruptcy

When filing for a Washington State bankruptcy, some types of property are typically non-exempt and can be used to pay at least a portion of the claims of creditors.

Examples of non-exempt property include: cash and bonds (not part of a retirement account), investments over a certain amount, a second car (for single, non-married debtors), a second home, family heirlooms over a certain value, valuable collections such as paintings, coins, or stamps, and expensive trade or business equipment.

Non-Dischargeable Unsecured Debts

Certain unsecured debts are not dischargeable in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and must continue to be repaid in full. These include unpaid taxes, government- backed student loans, and unpaid child support. In many cases, however, your monthly payments of these debts can be restructured and lowered by filing a Washington Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 also gives you an option to "Redeem Your Vehicle". This process involves you paying the secured creditor the fair market value of the collateral, which is typically far lower than the amount you still owe on your current car loan. In exchange for redeeming your vehicle, the creditor provides you with the release of their lien. There are several redemption finance companies we can refer you to that will provide you with a loan will have new and lower payments based upon your vehicle’s current and fair market value.
