Not if the bank gives it their blessing that the new buyer can formally assume the obligation. usually the bank holder will have a waiver to sign to relieve responsibility of the original borrower. It can be a little tricky because most loans are packaged and sold to 'fannie Mae' and Freddie mac.

You will be responsible for the whole debt since you are the only one capable of paying the debt after your wife's bankruptcy.


If you are divorced from your previous spouse who got the house and your name is still on the mortgage how responsible are you for the debt when it goes into foreclosure?

The home is simply collateral for the loan. Regardless of what happens to the vesting of the property (legal ownership) you are still liable for the loan. If a court awarded the home to a spouse, the loan should have been refinanced into their name. If that did not occur your liability for the loan has not changed.


What happens when someone you cosigned a mortgage for has filed for bankruptcy?

When you co-sign on a loan or mortgage for someone, you are promising to make the loan payments if they can't. When someone files for bankruptcy, they are claiming that they cannot make their payments. It would stand to reason that if someone you co-signed on a mortgage for files for bankruptcy that you would then be liable for making the payments.

The only way is for you to become a guarantor. You are still resposible if they default. I am assuming that you want to help. But, if you are not willing to go that far out on the limb, why would the loan company?


Are you liable for a car loan if the owner files bankruptcy and the car was charged off?

That depends on what you're asking. Who filed bankruptcy? The owner of the car or the owner (holder) of the car loan? Did you co-sign on the loan? If you co-signed on the loan and the other signer files for bankruptcy, yes you are liable for the loan. If the owner (holder) of the car loan files for bankruptcy, you are still liable to the owner's creditors (and you need to find out who they are so you can get the lien released).
