After my bankruptcy, the judge issued a Moustafi Order on my vehicle. Can I refinance the car under these circumstances?
A Moustafi Order typically outlines your responsibility for the vehicle, such as payments and insurance, and how the lender can handle the debt. Refinancing is usually allowed, but it depends on the policies of the new lender.

Exactly. Some lenders may view the order as a non-issue, while others might see it as a risk. Shop around and check with potential lenders.

Make sure to disclose the Moustafi Order to the new lender so there are no misunderstandings later.
You might want to consult with your bankruptcy attorney to confirm how the Moustafi Order impacts refinancing. They can guide you on the best approach.

If you didn’t work with an attorney during your bankruptcy, the Arizona Bankruptcy Court’s Self-Help Center might be a good resource. Their number is 602-682-4010.
The order doesn’t prevent you from refinancing, but the terms of the refinance will depend on the lender’s policies. Be prepared to provide documentation about the bankruptcy and the vehicle.
Refinancing might also be a good opportunity to secure a better interest rate or payment terms, especially if your financial situation has improved since the bankruptcy.
It’s a good idea to review the details of the Moustafi Order with a professional to ensure there are no specific restrictions that could affect the refinance.

Good point. Even though refinancing is likely possible, understanding all conditions of the order will help avoid any complications.
