You have not filed a bankruptcy. You get a docket number immediately when you file. So, yes, they can repo your car. If this was done by a lawyer, you should find out what the lawyer actually did. You can confirm your bankruptcy filing online or by telephoning the court in which it was supposedly filed, and get the docket number. It's a public record.

Is an arrest warrant filed against the owner in a car repo case?
I was told that if my daughter's car was set for repo, that she and I would have an arrest warrant filed against us because the car would be considered stolen property. This is in Delaware.
You filed chapter 7 today got a case number could your car still be repo?
If you notified the lender, no. Be sure to fax proof of the bankruptcy to the lender. You also need to let them know approximately when you will be notifiying them as to what you plan to do.. reafirm the balance ( continue to pay) or give up the car. Good luck!
If Chapter 7 BK is filed on a car loan will the bank repo the vehicle if the cosigner is willing to make the payments?
You need to calol the LENDER and discuss this.
If you have a voluntary car repo while you are in chapter 13 how does it appear on your credit report?
as a repo
Can telling the repo man that you filed chapter 7 stop them from taking the car?
Telling them won't do anything. Perhaps, and only perhaps, having the paperwork to show you filed that day or maybe 2 will. But he has paperwork showing he has a right to take the vehicle, and gets paid for doing so.
Can the repo man come on your property if you have a lock on the gate and a no tress passing sign you have filed chapter 13 but lawyer advised you to hide car until you get a court order case number?
different states have different laws... and they vary greatly. did he cut the lock off? in my state repo men can't come onto private property to repo a vehicle. in most states if someone cuts the lock off your gate and takes your car... i guess that's break in and entry/trespassing/grand theft auto. i would be suprised if a state would allow a repo man to destroy your property(lock/gate) in order to repo it. if you have a lawyer... why aren't you asking him? the easiest way is to call the police and ask them... but they may not tell you everything... or they might not even know... good luck.
How long must a financial institution hold a vehicle after repossession before it can be disposed of?
im Missouri it is 10 days after repo, the title can be filed for repo by institution.
When filing Chapter 7 is a car loan department discharged by your credit union?
An automobile loan is secured by the vehicle title, meaning that the lending institution has filed legal notice of interest in the vehicle. Even if you file chapter 7 bankrupcy, the lending institution can repo the car if you don't make payments.
What happens if you are facing both bankruptcy and repossession?
Well, "repo man", a bankruptcy will allow folks to get their car back - even after repo. The clincher is, if the car was auctioned or not. That would be the only obstacle preventing the car from being returned, at least in terms of a Chapter 13.So, if you want your car back: file Chapter 13 and do it quickly.I am a repo man, and ironicly this happend on a case last week. The debtor (you in this case) filed for bankruptcy at 8:00am. I repoed his car at 7:30pm that night. After a few days on the phone with his laywer, and bank, the car was returned at the descretion of the bank. So, if you file before your car is repo'd, you can keep the car for that period of time. Your report will show what the bank wants to say, call them about it.No, it is not easy to hide a car, e.g. a car was 15 miles from the persons house under a tarp, under a pile of hay, inside a barn (that was open), and we got it. Once your car is repo'd that's it, bankruptcy cannot help..AnswerI HAVE FILED BANKRUPTCY WHEN SHOULD I TURN THE CAR IN i HAD A CHOICE TO KEEP PAYING OR NOT KEEP IT i CHOSE NOT TO KEEP IT BUT WHEN SHOULD i TURN IT IN i HAVE NOT MADE A PAYMENT FOR ONE MONTH . AnswerThe court will make arrangments for the car to be turned over and they will let you know. AnswerAll depends when the BK was filed. If it was filed pre-repo then the repo cannot be done unless ordered by the court. If it is filed post repo then, well, you were just too darn late with the filing. If you have signed a relief of stay for the vehicle, it can be repossessed even with the BK being filed. AnswerI had this happen to me. I had a repo guy call me for my truck and it was ironic because he called me the night before I had an appointment to go file Bankruptcy. Needless to say I was at my lawyers bright and early and told him the repo guy was going to come and get my truck that night but said he would call ahead because I live about 80 miles from where he was coming from. We filed a chapter 13 and included the car and my lawyer told me to call him and tell him to call the lawyer's office and they would advise him that he can't take the car. He didn't believe me and said he was coming to get the car anyway and my lawyer advised me to call ahead to the sheriff's office and advise them that you had filed a bankruptcy and give them a copy of the order so that if he shows up, they can tell him to leave. He actually told me to just not answer the door...there's nothing that says you have to listen to them. FYI; I still have my truck via a Chapter 13. It ain't pretty but it's better than a repo on my credit. A chapter 13 restructures your debt into a new payment plan so if you're way behind like I was, the minute you file you are automatically current. I was paying $475/month for my truck and under my Ch 13 plan I'm paying them $255/month. Also, they also only award the NADA value of the vehicle which was nice for me cuz my loan balance was $15,000 but my truck was only worth about 10,000.Somthing to think about.
Can you do chapter 7 after repo?
There is nothing about a repossession which prevents eligibility to file for bankruptcy.
Is repossession reported if bankruptcy is filed?
it could go either way. It will say "included in BK" if you included it and repo if you did not.
Can a repo man contact your employer even after they are told you filed chapter 7?
They should be told through official channels by the Court. Otherwise, your word means nothing, frankly, less than nothing as your signed and sworn agreement to pay the debt wasn't true either.
