Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California
Car Loan
I recently filed Chapter 7, before the
meeting of creditors, I received a
motion for Relief from Stay from my
car finance company. I am not
interested in keeping the car and did
not intend to re-affirm the loan. My
concern though is by filing the relief
from stay, will they be able to collect
from the me the balance of the loan
minus the auction price?

No. They likely only intend to repossess the car. You might call the attorney and make arrangements for its surrender.
