NO, not unless he co-signor files B/K also. But do be sure to tell your B/K attorney that there is a co-signor.

Can my house be repossessed if my husband is madebankrupt but is not on the deeds?

Your husband's name is not on the deed, but is he on the loan? If yes, then it cannot be foreclosed and repossessed if the property is listed on his bankruptcy filing, and, as long as his bankruptcy payments are current. If he defaults on bankruptcy payments, then you can lose the property. If he is not on the loan, then your house can be foreclosed and repossessed.

What does automatic stay under title 11 mean concerning a repossessed car?

I'm assuming you are asking regarding a bankruptcy. An automatic stay is a utility of the court, that legally prevents contact with you from creditors after they have been notified of the bankruptcy proceedings. Once you file, the stay protects you and your proerty for as long as the stay exists. Once the BK is dismissed or discharged, the stay is lifted. While the stay is in effect, the vehicle cannot be involuntarily repossessed.

Can you get tax relief while being in a chapter 13?

The IRS cannot take collection action against you while you are in bankruptcy, which generally means they also cannot make any kind of deals with you (ie. offer in compromise, payment plan, etc would all be considered attempting to collect a debt, which would make them in violation of the bankruptcy courts). Unless you plan to work out a solution through the bankruptcy courts and implement it into your bankruptcy plan, you should just wait until the bankruptcy is discharged and then give the IRS a call.


What if the primary borrower files bankruptcy is the cosigner still responsible for making payments on the vehicle Can the co-signer take their name off the vehicle?

A Co-signer is always responsible for the item unless the primary borrower refinances and removes the co-signer. Unfortunately if the primary borrower filed bankrupcy it doesn't seem likely they will be able to refinance. Yes. Cosigner means that if for ANY reason the main borrower cannot pay, cosigner will be responsible to pay.
