Helping you make smart bankruptcy decisions

Can a person going through chapter 7 bankruptcy get a loan to buy a new or used car?

I am going to be going through chapter 7 bankruptcy next month (November). My car has 70,000 miles and it is five years, and four months old since I purchased it in 2001 (it had 13 miles when I bought it). If I keep my car for two and a half more years before trading it in, can i get a decent loan after filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy this november? My attorney told me that it wouldn't hurt me that bad because I get a VA compensation and they can't garnish my wages. Please help. And if I can get a loan, what kind of interest rate would it be?

you will have to wait until after your bankruptcy has been discharged before you can apply for any kind of a loan but your interest rate will be high if the bank will give you a loan at all some might not it depends on what bank you try to get a loan from
