CanI sue my finance company if they repo my car if I’m in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
My car was repo because the finance company said that we didn’t sign the reaffirmation in time but we had 30 days after the 341 meeting to do, so they took my car 2 weeks after the meeting. I lost 13 days from work and repo fees.

This is something you should discuss with your bankruptcy attorney. Generally, you have more than 2 weeks after the 341. There are circumstances that will override this policy. If the creditor already had relief from the automatic stay or you had a previous dismissl within 1 year of the filing of this bankruptcy can shorten the time for the automatic stay to lift.
Best of Luck
