It is a little tricky. since the answer depends in part on how long ago the car was bought. whether it's a Chapter 13 or 7, and in some cases, state law
If you surrender the property in a Chapter 7 and the other signatory is current on payments, you will probably get your discharge.
Consult an experienced local bankruptcy lawyer.
No, I have never cosigned on a car for my ex.
YES, you can include it whether the payments are current or not.
Unfortunately if you cosigned a loan that means you were willing to pay the loan if the other signer defaults and if that happen they will go by any means to collect that money that you "cosigned/said" you would cover if the other person defaults. I would go after that person that you cosigned for if it has gone this far.
The biggest threat to you losing both cars is if you used your car as collateral, and the person for whom you cosigned defaults on the loan, and you can't make the payments on the other person's car yourself. But, even if you didn't use your car as collateral, then the bank/finance company could still file a judgment against you for the remaining balance that was owed on the car you cosigned for.
you and the party you cosigned have to talk to who you have the note with and they should be able to help you out
yes it can
If the signor fails to make payments, you are responsible. By co-signing, you say that if the signor can not pay, you will would gladly make the payments.
Having a car or other item repossessed does not mean anyone has to file for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is to protect you from creditors and should be sought if you owe more than your net worth and have no reasonable prospect of being able to pay what you owe.
Its half hers.
If you file bankruptcy and you have not been discharged the car that you buy can be used to finance it.
The person who's name is on the Title is the owner of the car.
The one who BORROWED the money and/or the on who COSIGNED the loan.
