QUESTION
Is it even possible for me to get my license back and if so, how long will it be before I get my license back if I file bankruptcy?
Asked on Mar 25th, 2013 on Bankruptcy - Virginia
More details to this question:
I lost my license due to being in a car accident without insurance about a year ago. I have paid all the DMV fees and file my SR-22 but I still have to pay the claim to the insurance company in order to get my license back. I don't have the money to pay the company nearly $6,000.

A bankruptcy discharge of the $6k debt will allow you to get your license back as long as all other requirements have been satisfied.

Yes, you can get your license back by filing bankruptcy. But I don't know how long it takes.

If you file bankruptcy it will restore your license. However, a $6000 debt is rather low to justify a bankruptcy.

You can file a chapter 7 bankruptcy listing the creditor on the motor vehicle accident and get your license back. Once you file get a certified copy of the petition and schedule F from the bankruptcy clerk and take it to DMV. You should be able to get your license right away. Especially if this is your only debt, to avoid bankruptcy perhaps you could enter a payment arrangement. You should consult an attorney.

Damages from auto accidents are generally dischargeable in bankruptcy unless you were intoxicated at the time. If you also have other debts as well then bankruptcy might make good sense for you. If that is the only debt you owe then it is less clear to me whether it makes sense since I do not know anything about the rest of your situation.

You can get your license back after your debt is discharged through the bankruptcy.
