If your payments were kept current under your Chapter 13 plan, you can probably continue to pay and be OK. But consult your lawyer before making any decisions!

Probably, if you're not paying the loan the lender will often repo the car.

It would sort of be up to the lender. Could it happen? Yep.

The decision is up to the creditor-but the key thing is that they apparently have the right to do a repossession at any time now. I am sure there are lawyers who could fit you into their schedules to discuss re-filing. My own office has some openings during the current week.

They had the right to repossess the moment the case was dismissed.

Quite possibly.

That is certainly an option for the creditor.
