As long as it takes to either get the car back or to be paid what is owed. The one who defaulted on the car loan is not the owner ... unless one has the clear title to any vehicle, they are not the legal owner ... registered owner, yes, but not the legal one.
The bill is due immediately after the finance company sells the vehicle and totals the cost of reposession.

You can tell if a car is reposed by seeing if it is just sitting there. Reposed just means: The act of resting or the state of being at rest.

They have no legal jurisdiction over any vehicle not listed on the repo order. They can no more touch your car as they could the presidents limo. Tom Brode

Nothing, but my advise to you is that if your bank rupt you should sell the car
Typically, when a car is reposed the financing company is responsible for all fees incurred in repossessing your vehicle. If you added the reposed vehicle in your bankruptcy and it was discharged with your other debts, you owe nothing to the bank or any of its' subcontractors. It is the financing company's responsibility only to pay its clients. If the repo. company is harassing you for the storage charges they are out of line. They must seek restitution from the financing company only. If they continue to call and pursue, call your local attorney general and state government banking association to file a complaint against the repo company and the bank. After a bankruptcy is discharged it is illegal for a creditor to call you for any financial restitution of a federally discharged debt.
Why would they want to hold it? Perhaps you owe them for towing and/or storage fees for the time that it was reposed.
