    Gap Insurance and Bankruptcy

    Gap insurance is usually offered on a car loan and it is intended to cover the difference between what you owe on your car and how much the car is worth. Do you need gap insurance?

    In most cases, an auto insurance policy is sufficient protection to cover the cost of repairs or replacement. However, if the value of your car is lower than the amount you owe on your loan, the gap insurance will cover the difference. Gap insurance is offered in car purchases and leases. Gap insurance is used mostly in situations where you have a negative loan balance from a car you traded in when you purchased or leased your new car.

    You do not need gap insurance if you will not owe more than your car is worth during the terms of your loan or lease. You can determine the value of your car by looking at the value of the last year’s model of car you are buying. You can look at Kelley Blue Book valuation online at www.kbb.com. If you decide to buy gap insurance, shop around and choose the best coverage for you. In most cases, gap insurance has no real value and should not be purchased.

    If you are purchasing a car while you are in Ch. 13 bankruptcy, you must first obtain bankruptcy court and trustee approval. Most trustees do not approve a car loan if there is gap insurance on a car loan.

    If you file bankruptcy, depending on the date you purchased your car, you might be able to modify the terms of your car loan. If you purchased your car within 910 days prior to the filing of your bankruptcy, the refinancing might be limited to the interest and the length of repayment, however, if you had purchased the car longer than 910 days prior to the date you filed your bankruptcy, then there are more flexibility in refinancing your car loan based on the value of the car, the terms and balance of your car loan.

      Ms. Khorrami was very professional and helpful. She eased my mind in our first consultation meeting and I knew right then that I would hire her for my bankruptcy. She explained the entire process to me and told me what to expect at different stages and everything happened just like she said it would. I appreciate Rebecca for being so nice and on top of things too. Thank you for your excellent services!

      I honestly can’t say enough great things about Mina and her staff. Unfortunately this wasn’t my first rodeo, which she completely understood. Not once did she ever pass judgement and was very respectful/professional. If I could give her 6 stars I would. Will definitely recommend her to ANYONE!

      Ms. Khorrami provided me with sound legal advice. I’m pleased with the outcome of my case. Ms. Khorrami’s assistant Rebbeca was attentive and very helpful. I feel comfortable referring Ms. Khorrami to my closest friend, which I have done.

      Over the past few years Mina has assisted me and my family with our legal matters. I have referred her to other friends and family as well. If she hasn’t been in the position to help (which is rare) she has access to other legal professionals to refer to. She is very knowledgeable and is very caring to her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone that has a legal matter that needs attention.
