The Lender may or may not want to repo a wreck. Bankruptcy, same deal. Call the lender, tell them what the car looks like, and let them decide.
___
File bankruptcy if you are buried in unsecured debt, not to save the car. Especially a wrecked car.
___
"Repossession" looks slightly better (not MUCH better) on a credit report than a Chapter 7. Let it get repossessed.

That would be a particularly bad plan if you hope to keep a good credit score. The bank would have required you to have enough insurance on the vehicle to cover the replacement. If you didn't, you are financially responsible for every dime that is outstanding on the loan. If the truck is wrecked, the difference between the debt and the value is your responsibility.
What can happen if car loans are not paid when there is no vehicle do to a wreck?
Then they will repossess the wrecked vehicle, sell it for what they can get, apply that to the loan balance, and you will be responsible for the balance on the loan. They will sue you in court to get it and will win. Now if you continue to make the loan payments, then none of this will happen. Did you not have insurance on this vehicle?
What if you return a wrecked car back to the carlot its up for repo can you go to jail?
No, debtors prison no longer exists(With this economy thank God) so unless you wrecked it purposely your good there. However if you had a loan on the car, you should of had full coverage insurance that would pay for at least most of it and most dealers require gap as well which would continue paying the car off after the insurance. If you did not have insurance and gap, then you will be responsible for the cost of the car, even if it is ropo'd. You can file bankruptcy if you cannot afford to pay for the car however, if your not paying for just because you wrecked it that isn't really fair to the lender. They can also Levy your paychecks and or bank accounts for the funds to cover the car.
