[CLBS] Chapter 13 debtors in middle of plan need financing for a car -- who do you recommend?

[Tecla Druffel]

Listmates:

I represent a married couple in a confirmed Chapter 13 case. They
desperately need to obtain a second vehicle so the husband can get to and
from work. They have diligently called all of the local dealerships in our
area, as well as Tri-Cities, La Grande and Spokane and have been told
repeatedly that they will not be able to obtain financing without first
receiving their bankruptcy discharge.

I have had other clients in a similar position successfully obtain auto
financing (with trustee approval) while in a Chapter 13 case. However,
these current clients have been told "no" repeatedly and I can't make sense
of it.

Can anyone recommend a dealership that is willing to work with folks in the
middle of a Chapter 13 plan? The clients are also open to a lease. The
clients have strong incomes, excellent work histories and are above median.

Thank you!
