When Should I Surrender Car?

[Rescuer]

What is the name of your state?WA

Does anyone know how soon after I file Chapter 7 do I need to give my leased car back? Can I wait until after the discharge? Thanks.

Once you file, the lender can't do anything to collect unless they file for Relief from the automatic Stay. So, you could possibly get thru to discharge before you HAVE to surrender the car, it all depends on whether or not then lender wants to wait. If your statment of intentions says you're giving it back, they they may contact you for turnover.
