Can you keep a vehicle after filing chapter 7 if they have not repossessed it?
You can only keep the vehicle under two circumstances: (1) sign a reaffirmation agreement and keep making payments; or (2) redeem the vehicle by paying of the balalnce. If you fail to do either, they lender can get permission from the bankruptcy court to repossess the vehicle. In some states, such as Missouri, you may keep the vehicle if you continue to pay on it.
If a car loan is reported on the credit report as 0 balance and discharged but paid continually after the bankruptcy can the car be returned to the bank without repercussion?
Bankrutpcy does not automatically get rid of the lien on your car. When you file for bankruptcy, you have 3 basic choices regarding your vehicle: (1) surrender the vehicle; (2) sign a reaffirmation agreement; and (3) redeem the vehicle. A reaffirmation agreement is an agreement to keep the vehicle, continue to make all payments and not receive a discharge of the car debt. If you signed one of these, you are still on the hook for the car loan. If you owe more than the car is worth, you can "redeem" the vehicle by purchasing it from the lender for the fair market value. The trick is getting the money together. Sometimes you can get new financing and you would be on the hook for the new financing. In some areas of the country, you can keep the vehicle and keep making payments without reaffirmation or redemption and maintain insurance. If you live in one of those jurisdictions such as California, you can turn in the vehicle without repercussion.

Can you save a vehicle in repo status by filing bankruptcy?
You can stop a pending repossession on a car by filing Chapter 7. However, you will have to find a way during the automatic stay [i.e. the period of bankruptcy protection] to pay back past due payments, or else the auto lender will file for relief from the automatic stay to repo the car back. You [or your attorney] might have to tell them [thru a filed Statement of Intentions] that you intend to reaffirm the debt and work out a side agreement called a reaffirmation agreement, where you can make up the past due payments.
