Hi Meggyakers and welcome to the forum
If your car is on hire purchase (HP) then there is usually a clause that says the car must be returned if you are made bankrupt. A HP car is one where you do not own it until you have finished paying for it. It's best to start by checking the terms and conditions for anything referring to bankruptcy or insolvency.
It's also a good idea to complete a statement of affairs (SOA) to see what you can afford to offer towards your debts http://www.stoozing.com/calculator/soa.php. You can post in the Debt Free Wannabe forum for more advice on what your debt options may be, or contact one of the free debt advice agencies for advice.
Best wishes
Susie
