What are the rights of a cosigner when the primary filed bankruptcy then didnt pay the bankruptcy so the bankruptcy was dismissed?
As a cosigner, you are not at all protected if the primary signer files for bankruptcy. In many cases, filing for bankruptcy relieves the primary signer on the loan from his obligations towards the loan, at which point the lender will turn to the cosigner for payment. You'll either have to pay the loan or file for your own bankruptcy (if necessary).Unfortunately, you're stuck with the loan regardless of whether or not the primary signer successfully completes his bankruptcy filling. You may want to contact a bankruptcy lawyer for some additional advice or assistance.

In most instances the account holder is the only one responsible for the debt. If the deceased was married and lived in a community property state, the surviving spouse could be held accountable for the debt depending on the circumstances. One factor would be the state probate laws and what nonexempt assets might be part of probate proceedings. 2nd Answer Joint cardholders are equally responsible for the debt with the primary cardhold. If the primary has passed away, the joint will be responsible for timely repayment of the debt. Authorized cardholders are not responsible for the debt at all. If there is no joint cardholder, the regular estate laws for your state apply.
