You car being repoed has nothing to do with bankruptcy. You can file anytime.
If you are filing though, make sure you keep track of the value of the vehicle v. the exemption in your state for cars. You may end up having to pay the trustee more if you get an expensive car. IF you get a car that is 100% financed though, don't worry about it. (The bank would own it, not you)

If your car has been repossessed and you have not yet filed bankruptcy can you still be eligible to get the car back after you file?
If the car is gone, the car is gone. The car would only be covered in BK if you still had it. If you file Chapter 13 bankruptcy within 10 days of your car being repossessed, or in some states before it has been sold or auctioned, your creditor must return the vehicle to you.
Can you still owe money after your car is repossessed and you are bankrupt?
You still owe the balance after the insurance money is paid, if there is a balance. You can only get rid of it, along with your other unsecured debts, by filing bankruptcy.
Am I still allowed credit cards after bankruptcy?
Yes, it is still possible to get a credit card after bankruptcy. "Secure" credit cards require you to place a security deposit down in the event of default, but they are a good way of rebuilding your credit.
If you make voluntary payments on a car loan that was discharged in a bankruptcy can they still report it as a repossession on your credit report even though the debt is not legally owed?
My guess is that they probably can still list a repo on your credit report. Normally you get a double-hit on your credit report when you surrender property in bankruptcy: you get hit with the bankruptcy (which knocks your credit score down by 75 to 150 points) and you get hit with a repo/foreclosure for the surrendered property. Just because a debt is discharged in bankruptcy doesn't mean that it won't be listed on your credit report, it simply means the debt is no longer collectable. The credit report will continue to show the debt on your credit report and should list it as "discharged in bankruptcy." Similarly, if a person surrenders a home in bankruptcy, the foreclosure still goes on their credit, and if a person surrenders a car in their bankruptcy, it still shows up as a repo on the credit report. So, my guess is that a repossessed car, even one for which the debt was wiped out in bankruptcy and one that was not repossessed for some time after bankruptcy since voluntary payments were made for awhile, will still show on the credit report as a repo when it is ultimately repossessed. I can't say this is a definitive answer, but this is how I think the process works.

If the car was repossessed will the cosigner still be responsible for the loan if the primary borrower files for bankruptcy?
NO, as long as he co-signed the loan, he is standing good for the payment. They can get a judgment against him and garnishee his wages . Dont let that happen to your Dad.Take Care of Your Business.

Can you buy another car even though is repossessed?
If you have had a car repossessed, you have not kept up with the payments. You probably still owe money on the repossessed car. In these circumstances, the fact is that you can not afford to purchase another car and would not be able to obtain the finance to do so.

If you file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can the lien holder on a car already repossessed that you are making payments on still collect?
IF its filed properly,NO. Why not ask your B/K attorney this question??? That's what you pay them for.
