Will I get to keep it? From what I've read chapter 7 allows for approximately $2500 exemption per person when filing jointly with spouse. Plus there is a wildcard exemption which from what I've read is about $1000. So that would let us keep our car which is worth $6000, right? Or does the fact that there is a lien on it make the exemption(s) not work with this vehicle. Yes we only have one car between the 2 of us. Hope someone has been in this exact situation before, or is a bankruptcy paralegal/clerk or something. Just want a clear answer for this scenario since no books or websites have been clear.
