It depends on what you want to happen.

If you want to keep the financed tools, then you keep them and keep paying on them.  If you want to surrender the tools and wipe out the debt, then you can give them back to Mac Tools.

When you file bankruptcy, there are certain debts that are secured, which means that they are attached to things.  A mortgage is secured by a house, a car loan is secured by your car, and if you are a high-end mechanic, then there’s a good chance that your giant rolling red tool box and vast assortment of tools hand-forged by Vulcan himself are secured by a loan through GreenSky (or Mac Credit).  

In a chapter 7, you file a statement of intention saying that you want to keep the tools.  Then you can reaffirm the debt by signing a reaffirmation agreement with GreenSky.  However, GreenSky is one of those creditors who really doesn’t care about the reaff.  They just want you to keep paying.  If you keep paying, you keep the tools.  If you stop paying, they’ll gladly pick them up.

In a chapter 13, we roll the financed tools into your chapter 13 plan payments over a 5 year plan.

So nothing will happen to your tools, so long as you keep paying GreenSky each month.

And in case you’re wondering, I’ve found them very pleasant to speak with on the phone (unlike the picture above).  Here is their contact information if you’re keeping your tools and making a payment:
