Unless a secured lender has received a "lift of stay" on a debt included in bankruptcy, they must wait until the BK has been discharged before they can repossess or begin legal procedures to retrieve a vehicle. A vehicle is considered a secured debt and is not dischargeable in a chapter 7. The borrower/debtor should contact the BK trustee and/or the lender to clear up the matter or he or she may face complicated litigation in the future. The title will still show a lien holder and the DMV will not issue a duplicate one until the lender signs the vehicle over to the borrower.

No, this is not legal. When you filed the bankruptcy, you and your property are automatically protected under the "stay." The stay prevents any collections or repossession action for the duration of the bankruptcy, and will not be lifted until the BK is discharged or dismissed.
