Can I include my car loan into a debt consolidation program? If so can I keep my car
If I include my car loan in a debt consolidation program, will I be able to keep my car?
No, you can not consolidate an auto loan into a debt consolidation program. Debt consolidation programs are tailored for unsecured debt, such as credit cards and personal loans. Your auto loan is secured by your vehicle. However, if your auto has been repossessed, sold in an auctioned, and you receive a deficiency balance then you may be able to enroll that debt into a debt settlement program.

Dealing with debt
Mortgages, credit cards, student loans, personal loans, and auto loans are common types of debts. According to the NY Federal Reserve total household debt as of Q2 2023 was $17.06 trillion. Housing debt totaled $12.354 trillion and non-housing debt was $4.709 trillion.
According to data gathered by Urban.org from a sample of credit reports, about 26% of people in the US have some kind of debt in collections. The median debt in collections is $1,739. Student loans and auto loans are common types of debt. Of people holding student debt, approximately 8% had student loans in collections. The national Auto/Retail debt delinquency rate was 4%.
The amount of debt and debt in collections vary by state. For example, in Kansas, 26% have any kind of debt in collections and the median debt in collections is $1652. Medical debt is common and 17% have that in collections. The median medical debt in collections is $849.
Avoiding collections isn’t always possible. A sudden loss of employment, death in the family, or sickness can lead to financial hardship. Fortunately, there are many ways to deal with debt including an aggressive payment plan, debt consolidation loan, or a negotiated settlement.
