Bank filed motion to lift stay!

[marzipan13]

I checked pacer today and the bank filed a motion to lift stay for my financed car. A hearing is set for Aug. 24th.
I had already filed intention to surrender, which I planned to do this week or next (my husband's car is in the shop and I have no way to get to work without the financed car).
Should I go ahead and surrender the car or wait until they repossess it after the hearing? If I wait, will that affect my bk case?

If you are going to give up the car anyway, just wait it out. The bank has to file that motion regardless of your intent to surrender since your BK is active (i.e. not discharged), so it is no big deal that they filed that motion. If the car runs, might as well keep it as long as you can...and doing so will not effect you BK.

As HHM says its normal. Its part of the process even when you are surrendering. Don't worry about surrendering it before the date set. Use it for now, hope your hubby's gets out in time.
