I am in the same boat due to illness and I am looking for a co-signer so I can rent an apt. The bankruptcy has been discharged per the court, and it is hard to rent an apartment sometimes with a co-singer. Everyone has different rules.
I believe if you filed a bankruptcy, then had a co-signer, it would have no effect on them, only what you do after they co-sign

I cosigned a loan for my granddaughter she has filed bankruptcy will her creditors come after you too?
If you are a cosigner on a loan, you are responsible for the debt of the loan if the primary signed defaults on the loan. So, yes you can be called to pay on the loan by the creditors.
If one files bankruptcy and has a co-signer will if affect their credit rating?
If the account the cosigner is on is included in the bankruptcy it will appear on their credit report. In most cases the cosigner will not be relieved of the debt when the primary holder files for bankruptcy. The creditor(s) can then pursue the cosigner for the collection of money owed.

What happens when a loan is cosigned and the borrowers file bankruptcy but the cosigner is deceased?
The loan would be part of the bankruptcy filing. I can't see how the death of the cosigner is significant. (In financial terms, that is.)
Can you replace a cosigner for an apartment with another cosigner?
Typically, replacing a cosigner on a lease would require approval from the landlord or property management company, and they may have specific criteria for accepting a new cosigner. It's best to contact the landlord or property manager directly to discuss the possibility of changing the cosigner on the lease.

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.
Will a cosigner's credit be affected if they cosign for someone who has a bad credit score because of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
The cosigner's credit will only be affected if the person that they cosign for defaults on the loan. The bankruptcy will not affect the cosigners credit.
What happens to a cosigner of a car loan when the primary loan holder files bankruptcy and the loan is discharged and they do a voluntary repossession?
They can still come after the cosigner, and it will still reflect poorly on your cosigner's credit history. You have been absolved of the debt, not your cosigner.
What happens to the cosigner if you are in chp 7 bankruptcy and you default on your car loan?
If you default on your loan, the cosigner is stuck with paying it off. If your credit had been any good in the first place, you would not have needed a cosigner.
What happens when a cosigner declares bankruptcy-not the primary owner?
Nothing unless they filed on your loan.
