If the Chapter 13 is dismissed and the loan is not current, then yes they can repossess the car. By "current," I mean go back to the day you originally bought the car. If you were supposed to pay $250/mo since then, if $250/mo has not been paid since then, it is behind and they can repossess. In other words, if they did not get a payment for 6 months while you were in the Chapter 13, then that car is 6 months plus late fees behind, all of which must be caught up or they can - and usually will - repossess the car. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks! Only if the creditor got a relief from stay in your chapt.13 bankruptcy.Otherwise, they have to wait until your case is closed by the court, not just dismissed.

What if I returned my car after purchasing it one year ago because I can no longer afford the payments?

It would be a very bad thing to do. You are voluntary having it repossessed. The lender will sell the car for whatever they can get and you will be responsible for the difference in what they sell it for and the balance on the loan. They will more than likely wholesale it and you will be stuck owing the rest. Your credit will also be ruined for 7 years. This is a horrible idea. Go set down with the lender and work something out if at all possible. You do not want your car repossessed.

How can creditors size a tax refund check one year after filing chapter 7 bankruptcy?

The answer depends on who the creditor is and the status of the debt. If the debt was a student loan or other non-dischargable debt, then your tax refund can be taken. If the debt WAS discharged, ANY collection action of any kind on a discharged debt is a violation of the permanent injunction of the discharge and therefore illegal. If the creditor was not included on the creditor matrix, then informing them of the bankruptcy and discharge of the debt may be all that is necessary to have the refund returned to you. In other cases it may be necessary to file a Motion for Contempt against the creditor in bankruptcy court. This would require the re-opening of the bankruptcy.
