Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California
Case dismissed
We filed a chapter 13 BK some time ago. Due to financial reasons we could not keep up the payments and it was dismissed. Is there a time limit after dismissal that a creditor can take possession of a car that was included in the BK? Tha BK was dismissed well over a year ago and we have not heard from them until today.

I am surprised that the lender waiting this long, but the lender is well withing its rights to repossess the vehicle if you are behind on the payments. The dismissal of the bankruptcy extinguishes the automatic stay.
