Chapter 7 trustee froze my bank account and I have money in there to pay my secure car loan that got lifted out the state what divi need to do

When you file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, any assets that you own, including funds in your bank account, become property of the bankruptcy estate.  However, each Chapter 7 debtor is allowed to exempt certain property so as to protect it from being used to pay creditors.  In Georgia, the exemption normally used to protect funds in a bank account is found in O.C.G.A Section 44-13-100(a)(6).  It allows you to exempt up to $5600 in any assets.  There are other exemptions that are used to protect the equity in your home, your household goods, an automobile, etc. You need to review your bankruptcy schedules, particularly Schedule C, and determine to what extent you have exempted the funds in your bank account.  You may be able to amend your exemptions if necessary.  You can then ask the Trustee to "abandon" the funds that you have claimed as exempt.  Once you have the abandonment, the bank should release your funds.
