...to return my car. can they take it? i live in iowa and had a discharged chp 7. i represented myself. if i needed to return my car i would of been sent court ordered documents saying so correct? if car lot takes car w/o court papers isn't this considered auto-theft?
 
If you included it in your bankruptcy, just call and tell them where they can pick it up. However, if it's an old car, it wouldn't be worth the cost to pick it up. Just call and ask
 
It depends on how you treated the car loan in the bankruptcy. If you gave the car up without reaffirming the debt, then it isn't auto theft if the lot takes it back because you agreed to give it up in bankruptcy. If you reaffirmed the debt, you continue making the payments and get to keep the car.

Either check with the bankruptcy court, or review your court order, or call the car dealer to see what the situation is.
