The car will be repossessed, unless you surrender it. If you owe more than the car is worth, the lender will not likely want to accept a surrender unless you can pay the balance due on the loan. Your state may not allow creditors to go after loan balances if they repossess a vehicle. Consult a local bankruptcy or consumer debt attorney.

When will the bank come and take your car after your bankruptcy is final?

Usually, you get to keep at least one car in a bankruptcy, and in fact it's rare the bankruptcy will ask you to sell any car, unless it's clearly a luxury vehicle not required for work. So your Mustang is safe but your Rolls Royce might be in danger. If you owe money on the car, you can reaffirm the debt, and thus keep the car and the original payment plan. Alternately, it's up to the creditor -- they can repossess immediately if you don't reaffirm.

What are your rights if you have set up a payment plan because you were threatened with legal action but now making the payment is a strain?

Your 'rights" are to do whatever you said you would do(pay the loan off) or give up the car. Its fairly simple, the lender has worked with you and you simply cant afford THAT car. There is a car somewhere that you CAN afford. There are NO magic rights that enable you to keep anything you cant afford. You can file bankruptcy to avoid paying the balance due on the car, but you still dont get to keep the car.
