Can I Consolidate My Car Loan In A Debt Consolidation Program?
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.

Struggling with debt?
If you are struggling with debt, you are not alone. According to the NY Federal Reserve total household debt as of Quarter Q4 2023 was $17.503 trillion. Student loan debt was $1.601 trillion and credit card debt was $1.129 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%.
Each state has its rate of delinquency and share of debts in collections. For example, in New Hampshire credit card delinquency rate was 2%, and the median credit card debt was $471.
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.
