Re: Is Reposession After Discharge Permissable?

Normally, no, unless there was a lien which was not affected by the bankruptcy, or the debt was not discharged.

You should talk with a lawyer who can go over all the facts of your particular situation.

If you can't afford a lawyer, ask Legal Aid for help. Most bar associations also have a panel of lawyers will to work for a reduced fee.

Good luck!
