A number of things can happen based on number of different factors. You won't have the monthly car payments anymore, so you might need to modify your plan to reflect increase your plan payments because of the lower expenses. Or it might be better to convert to a Chapter 7 or dismiss the Chapter 13. Converting to a 7 would eliminated the possibility of the car lender getting a deficiency judgment after selling the car. Most people file Chapter 13 either because the want to keep property that they couldn't keep in a Chapter 7 or because they have debt that can't be discharged, so it is time to review your situatiowith a quaified bankruptcy attorney and see if you should still be in a Chapter 13.

If you are sued for a credit card that was charged off in 2000 can they garnish your wages in Florida?
Yes. If you are sued and judgment awarded against, your wages can be garnished. Well, sort of... Florida is what is known as a "debtor friendly" state. Assets that can be attached by creditors are limited.For example, wage garnishment for the head of household.. the first $500 is exempt. Anything above the $500 can be garnished only with the written consent of the debtor. As you can see this makes it pretty difficult for the creditor. Marital bank accounts cannot be garnished. Under Florida law they are protected by the Tenancy By the Entirety Statute. Other bank accounts can be garnished, but with strict limitations. To find out all the property exempt from creditors, search "Florida Bankruptcy Exemptions."
