- BankruptcyYou must pay back your secured debt if you want to keep your property. This is typically the case with Chapter 7 bankruptcy. During this time, you must be current on your payments or have a plan to catch up if you fall behind. In some cases, you may be able to get out of this debt by giving up your collateral and surrendering it to the creditor. This will erase the rest of the debt.
- ForeclosureMost liens won’t be discharged during a bankruptcy, so your creditors can enforce their lien through repossession and foreclosure. However, if you choose to keep your collateral, you must be able to pay the debt off as quickly as possible. In other cases, you’ll have to keep making payments or find other ways to get the money you need to pay off the secured debt. However, reaffirming the debt is possible if the lender agrees to it.
