A: You should be able to however you need to do everything right with your second filing. The creditor may object to releasing the car. If you did not hire an attorney for your first case, you should absolutely hire one for a second case. You will need to file a motion to extend the automatic stay. You will need to have proof of full coverage insurance on the car with the lender listed as the loss payee. You should not be surprised if the lender objects to releasing the car especially if you did not file schedules and a plan or make any plan payments in your first case. Contact a local bankruptcy attorney and schedule a consultation. You can search for an attorney using the Justia "Find a Lawyer" link at the top of this page.
