A: If you start making payments again on them, they will likely let you keep them. If you don’t pay, they’ll ultimately try to repo them.

A: They will likely repo them, and they may do so quickly and without giving you any notice. So if I were you I would remove any personal items of yours from the vehicles.

If you want to try to work something out with them, call them immediately. Or it is possible to file a new chapter 13 case. Or you may want to consider filing chapter 7. In chapter 7 it is possible to redeem vehicles by paying them the value of the vehicles instead of what you owe.
