Generally in regardls to a BK 7 the debtor is only allowed to keep his or her vehicle if they reach a repayment/refinancing agreement with the lender. If the lender was not notified of your BK filling before the repossession they have the legal right to seize the vehicle in question.

You might be able to have the vehicle returned for the period of time in which the BK is being adjudicated, but that is not always an option.

A car is not totaled in a chapter 13. A car may be totaled while the owner is in a chapter 13. If the car was fully exempted, nothing happens.

You have not filed a bankruptcy. You get a docket number immediately when you file. So, yes, they can repo your car. If this was done by a lawyer, you should find out what the lawyer actually did. You can confirm your bankruptcy filing online or by telephoning the court in which it was supposedly filed, and get the docket number. It's a public record.

If your car has been repossessed for the second time can they keep it until it is paid off or can you pay what you owe and get it back?

Most likely. If you file before the vehicle is sold, the Automatic Stay that gets imposed stops the sale. You can then go back and work on how to pay the arrears. If its a Chapter 13, then they are simply in the plan. If the car has already been repoed, then make sure you call the bank (or whomever you got the loan through) and tell them you filed. Give them the case # and the chapter.
