Question
Can I add my car to my discharged bankruptcy, it was discharged in 7/06 or 05 I not sure. But I am upside down in this car and my payment is strapping me.

Answer
You should speak with your attorney.  If you signed a reaffirmation agreement, then you are on the hook for the payments, and nothing can be done.  If you did not enter in to a reaffirmation, then you may be able to surrender the vehicle and walk away from any more payments.  Check with your lawyer to see what was done in your case.
