The lender should have the title if the car isn't paid for. You can also check with DMV.

Go to the DMV to get proper credentials and paperwork on your vehicle. They will direct you to the proper paperwork and procedures.

Hopefully you did not make the catastrophic mistake of filing pro se. This is a question your attorney needs to address, and should have also been explained in your initial schedules. Since you apparently have no lawyer and have now apparently messed up, get one immediately.

You do not have the title because it is held by the creditor. Bankruptcy did not change anything with regard to the car loan. You still owe whatever you owe and you will not get the title until you pay the balance. If you have not paid the car then the creditor can repossess the car at any time but you will not owe anything because of the bankruptcy case. The Trustee probably just wanted to see information about the vehicle to see if you had any equity so he could take it and sell it, pay off the balance of the loan and pay the rest to your creditors. Once the Trustee verified there was no equity to too little equity then he or she was no longer interested in the car.

You car lender most likely has the original title, ask the lender for a copy for the trustee.

The easiest was to get a copy of the title (even though it is not released) is to call the secured creditor and ask for the title department. They can email you a copy of what the title to provide to the trustee.
