If you file chapter 7 do you have to return your car if its not repoed?

Not necessarily. If you are current on your payments, you can keep your car as long as you don't have too much equity in it. The amount of property you can keep in bankruptcy depends on your state's exemption laws. http://www.bankonitsd.com/San_Diego_Bankruptcy_FAQ_7.html http://www.bankonitsd.com/Bankruptcy_FAQ_general_exemptions.html
