My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Indiana....

I filed Chapter 7 in Indiana, but currently live in TN.

I received my Bankruptcy Discharge paper in the mail Friday. My current vehicle, a 2008 Honda Civic (monthly payments of $600), is due to be surrendered. Prior to receiving the discharge paperwork, a car salesman at a major dealership told me he could sell me a car after I received discharge paperwork. When I took the discharge paperwork to him this weekend and he ran my credit, he told me the Honda was still showing as an open debt on my credit report and it would need to show as Paid In Full before buying another car. I also went to Carmax and was told the same thing. My question is this: After voluntarily surrendering my Honda, how long does it take to show PIF on my credit so I can purchase another vehicle? Does Honda have to auction the car off first? Or does simply surrendering the vehicle mean it is Paid In Full?

I have to rent a car after surrendering the vehicle so I can get to work and back. I can get the financing to purchase a new vehicle with a much lower monthly payment, but can't afford to rent a car for more than a week or so, and would LOVE some advice on how long it might take Honda to show PIF on my credit. I of course plan on calling Honda on Monday (today is Sunday), but thought someone here might be able to help

Thank You~
