Re: reposession

when the chapter 13 is filed, it does stay repossession. You will have to provide for full payment of the car (and typically the interest rate that you are currently paying) in the plan in order to keep the vehicle. It is important that the loan company and repo company are aware of the bankruptcy once it is filed to ensure compliance with the stay.
