Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

i filed for chap 7 BK. i also have a leased vehicle that was included in the BK and stopped payment after the BK filing.

should i contact the dealer and have them take the car back or wait?

does the condition of the car matter when the vehicle is returned? what if it has been in an accident or what if the original parts are not on the car when returned? can i get sued for the amount to get the vehicle back to factory specs?

thank you for your time

A bankruptcy discharge would apply to all debts owed on the vehicle.

You should contact the bank and make arrangements to return it. In that way, you can control when to return it and remove your belongings.
