Re: bankrupcy and title of vehicle

The bankruptcy removed your liability to pay the debt. However, if the car is not paid off in full, it will still remain in effect. So you might not be personally liable, but you still can't sell the car.

Maybe you should keep driving it, or try to work out a settlement for the car with the lienholder
