My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: new york
hello all i am new to the forums. i am inemployed and thinking about filing for chapter 7 my question is i have a car lease that is up in may. do i need to notify the company that i am leaseing the car from and tell them i am filing for chapter 7? i spoke to a lawyer and he said i dont need to notify them as long as i am going to keep making the payments on the car. my next question is being that my lease is up in may can i try and end the lease early and reinance my car before i go bankrupt this way i can keep my car and not have to worry about whats going to happen when my lease is up. i dont want to be sneeky about anything i am jut trying to have a car through all this. i was thinking about refinanceing the car early if i can do that and then file for chapter 7 is that ok to do? and do i need to tell the company that i am filing for it? any information would help
thank you
