Hi

from what you have said it seems clear that your parents do not own the car. If they gave the money to you then you own it. If the money was put into ajoint account and purchased from there then your husband could own it.

what sort of job does hubby do that he would loose his job?

Ok so why will he lose his job?

There is no reason to believe that he cannot continue as self employed afterwards.

I have a number of taxi drivers ( currently 6 clients / businesses ) who have been able to retain cars on HP during bankruptcy because it is slightly different for them. Additionally the cars are usually in negative equity because of mileage and the finance companies don't want them back.

The real issues with running a taxi business in bankruptcy are:-

trading name & bank account
value of assets ( radios etc )
cashflow for running repairs etc

Might be worth speaking to an expert to discuss the possibility of continuing in the business.

If you are going to run the business until the day you go to court then you need to put each of the financed vehicle details on the form where it asks you to list vehicles and then finance for the vehicle.

If you are looking to conclude the business it would make more sense to sort this out first, hand the cars back and include any shortfall in the unsecured creditors list.

you put the car as being wholly yours as it does not have any finance attached to it. Your parents are not a recognised finance company.

you then put your parents down as creditors.

As previously stated if you have continued to pay your parents and have not paid other creditors then there is a real posibility that the OR will ask them for your payments back.
