You can convert your Chapter 13 fo a Chapter 7 if you are eligible for a Chapter 7 discharge. In most cases, you can turn the car back in and the lender would hae the right to file a proof of claim to the extent they weren't able to sell it for the full amount of the loan. The amount property that you can keep is determined by state law.
