Stability with structure
DFWBankruptcyAttorney’s Repossession Relief Plan
Stopping repossession takes timing, notices, and a realistic plan to cure arrears or handle surrender. We align court expectations, lender communication, and trustee requirements so you stay in control.
Vehicle protection basics
- Automatic stay may pause most repossession efforts once a bankruptcy case is filed and noticed
- Arrears can be structured in Chapter 13; Chapter 7 can discharge deficiencies after surrender
- Clear lender and lot notices reduce auction risk and speed release when applicable
Every loan and repossession timeline is different. We map lender policies, arrears, insurance, and title details before filing, then follow through with trustee-ready documents and lender coordination.

How we help
Stopping repossession with confidence
Fast notices, clear lender guidance, and disciplined filings keep your Dallas–Fort Worth vehicle strategy on track.
Case triage
We map arrears, equity, insurance, and goals to decide whether Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 is the right move for your vehicle.
Why triage matters
Loan terms, collateral value, and prior filings change the strategy. We clarify what relief is available and when to file.

Stay + notice readiness
Lender, tow yard, court, and creditor contacts are prioritized so automatic stay notices reach the right people quickly after filing.

The stay works best when the right parties know about it. We send and confirm notices to help pause repossession and auctions as the law allows.
Target the repo
We prioritize the lender, tow yard, and repo counsel first, then notify other creditors.
