After a bankruptcy in 2003 my credit score is already 631 and rising is this good would this be acceptable to most lenders?
More than likely you will get normal rates. Your credit score and debt-to-income ratio are the most important things when determining your creditworthiness and what interest rate you will get. The bankruptcy itself doesn't directly influence your interest rate, it just influences your credit score, and if your credit score is already 631 then you probably have nothing to worry about. Bankruptcy is usually a big enough factor in the credit score to affect car purchases for around 12 to 15 months after the bankruptcy case is over, and affects mortgage acquisition for about 2 years after the case is over.

What should you do if you cosigned on a car that your husband filled for bankruptcy on and they repossessed the car over a year ago and still haven't contacted you about paying them?
1st-- verify that you were not included in the bankruptcy--I've seen plenty of spouses that thought they did not go bankrupt but did. Signatures were requested by the attorney for certain paperwork--you signed without paying too much information---later you might find out you had been included in the bankrupcy. 2nd--if you were included in the bankruptcy and it was done jointly. Then that would answer your question about the car. The lender can't contract you because of the bankruptcy. Now, if you were not included in the BK and you are sure that you signed the promissory note on the car, then you should call the lender and ask for a detailed letter as to what happened with the account. You need to know that you might be opening a can of worms but it is either now or someone calling you later on this! You might find that when the car was sold, there was enough money to take care of the balance and any repo fees--so it is paid off. Or you might find that there is a deficit balance that has to be taken care of. (the car didn't sell for enough and there still a balance due) Make arrangements with the lender to pay off the balance -- see if they will re-write the balance as a brand new loan so that you can pay installments and get this reported as a good account on your credit report. You may have to do some explaining on your credit for the account that shows up as a repo. You can request that a quick explanation be added to the repo account on all 3 credit reporting agencies.
Should you file bankruptcy when your car gets repossessed?
That totaly depend on what else is happeneing in your credit world.. Just because your car gets reposessed? NO once they take your car there is nothing else you need to do with them. If you are in debt for way more than you can handle then you might want to think about bankruptcy, But first talk to a credit councellor, sometimes they can get your interest totally wiped out and lower your monthly payment low enough for you to handle them. Defifnitely talk to a credit councellor first!
