i have a secured loan, the security is a boat. it is now in default and the bank has actually charged off the amount as bad debt. now that it is charged off, what can i expect? the boat is no longer worth anywhere near the outstanding loan balance. i've tried to sell the boat but the bank won't consider a short sale, i offered the bank several payment options but they won't even respond to my letters. i did letters because i wanted a paper trail. i even offered a voluntary reposession and this was turned down. they don't want the boat any more than i do. how can i address this and get this albatross from around my neck?

If the boat was your only means to earn..then filing for bankruptcy might seem to be your last option...before you go for it, make sure you consult with a lawyer.
