    Car lease over and filed chapter 7
    I am currently in chapter 7 bankruptcy and my lease of car expired last month. I still have it in my possession. Lawyers of the finance owners sent me a court date for next month to appear and seize their vehicle. This is New York city. Are they allowed to reposess their car before that court date??

    Hello nick:

    I'll bet that the day you missed a payment, or the day you didn't turn the car in as agreed, is the first day they can repossess it.
