I filed bankruptcy in 2009. A vehicle named in the bankruptcy was never retrieved by the creditor.

This is a common problem without a great solution.  You definitely don't have any monetary obligation to the vehicle lender assuming you received a discharge in your bankruptcy case.  However, they do still retain their lien against the vehicle.   You can and should contact them to either coordinate return of the vehicle, or an agreement to allow you to sell it.
