I live in Kentucky and filed bankruptcy on a * Ford Edge, I've called the bank a few ****es and the lawyer sent notice to my creditors but no one has picked up the car. Can I legally file for abandoned vehicle on this car?
Hey Tim! That's an interesting situation. Have you received any communication from your bank or creditors regarding the car after filing for bankruptcy?
no
Hi Tim! Generally, you cannot file for an abandoned vehicle on the car you included in your bankruptcy. The bank or the creditor has the responsibility to repossess the car. You should contact your bankruptcy attorney for specific guidance on this matter.
