Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Auto Lease

I filed bk7 a yr ago and was discharged. I have an auto lease of 5 years I am on my 3rd yr and I want to return the car. On my credit report it shows that my account is in bk7 and have not been receiving any statements since my discharge. If I return the car can they charge me for the remaining money I owe or file a judgement against me for the remaining balance of the lease.
