It's been very tough for me. I'm going to have to let go of the car. It started with not being able to afford the insurance but now I know in order to get back on my feet and rebuild my credit which was in the 700s not even 4 months ago I need to let go of it. 

Is this possible? What methods are there to this? I will be talking to the bank on Tuesday and making an appointment but would like some advice here.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Financial challenges are difficult to navigate, but you're making the right decision by seeking advice and trying to take control of your situation.

If you can't afford your car anymore, there are a few options you might consider:

1. **Sell Your Car:** If the market value of your car is more than what you owe on your loan, selling your car could be a good option. You can use the proceeds to pay off your loan and potentially have some money left over.

2. **Trade-In Your Car:** If you're planning on getting a cheaper vehicle, you might consider trading in your current car. Dealerships will often accept trade-ins and apply the value towards a new vehicle.

3. **Refinance Your Loan:** If your credit score is still in a decent place, you might be able to refinance your car loan to get a lower monthly payment. This would extend the length of your loan, but it could make the payments more manageable.

4. **Voluntary Repossession:** If you can't sell or trade in your car, giving it back to the bank (voluntary repo) is an option. However, this will likely hurt your credit score and the bank may still require you to pay the difference if the car sells for less than the loan balance.

5. **Loan Deferment or Modification:** Some banks may offer loan deferment (delaying payments for a period) or loan modification (changing the terms of your loan) if you're experiencing financial hardship.

Before you make any decisions, it's important to understand how each option will impact your finances and your credit score. Consider speaking with a credit counselor or financial advisor before you talk to your bank. They can help you understand your options and make a plan that's best for your situation. Also ensure to check current market value of your car, amount left on your loan and your current credit score.
