    Hello, I am in such a dilemma. I am financing since February 2018. My car was vandalized, phantom hit and one at-fault. As a result maintaining full coverage insurance is beyond what I can afford on top of my car payment. The fact these three things remain for three years. I have no choice it seems then to surrender vehicle. I am so, so disappointed in myself.

    I owe $24,000 on a car that is only worth $5,000. I can no longer afford the car and I previously traded in a car and they attached negative equity from that car to current car. I don’t know what to do! Thinking of just giving the car back!! I’m stressed out!!
