    I'm assuming that you filed for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

    If you did, and you either chose to reaffirm the car loan, or you are in a jurisdiction which allows you to retain the collateral and make the payments without consequences, then the bailout which is under discussion shouldn't have any effect on you unless your contract calls for a variable interest rate on your car loan. In that case, your interest rate may change, depending on market circumstances.

    If you are in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, its good bankruptcy practice to include your car payments into the Chapter 13 plan. This means that you should be making the same payments regardless of what happens under the economic bailout.

    For more specific information, contact your bankruptcy attorney.
