You can try, but with a recent bankruptcy it won't be very advantageous to do so.
Let me get this straight. You filed B/K over 5 yrs. ago and the car was/is repoed recently? If this is correct, the car will be sold and the lender will want you to pay the balance still owed.
It will have no affect on her credit. Only the person(s) who are a party to a bankruptcy have it noted on any crediting reportage.
If you filed on May 20, 1994, then the statute of limitations for that will be up on May 20, 2004, and should then be deleted from your credit history. The rule is 10 years from the date filed. Hope this has been a help!
It is never a good idea to lie on a credit application, so if it asks if you ever filed bankruptcy, you can't say "No" just because the 10 years expired. However, most credit apps say "Have you filed bankruptcy in the past 10 years," in which case you could answer "no" since it has been over 10 years since you filed. And, even if it does ask if you have ever filed and you say "yes," it is unlikely that a bankruptcy from over 10 years ago will have much if any effect on your ability to get the loan. Every mortgage lender I've asked has said that after two years from the filing date of a bankruptcy, the bankruptcy is no concern.

It shouldn't, however CRA's are not always accurate in their data keeping. If the previous expired bankruptcy shows in the PR's portion, it would be advisable to send a letter of dispute to the reporting agency.
No.
Never
he filed bankruptcy 5 months ago. so right now he has $0.00
No, I believe Bankruptcy goes off your record in 7 years. Check the law in your state.
It is possible for the married couple to file a chapter 13 or in some instances a chapter 11.
That decision is up to the creditor who is considering grantin you credit. It really depends on what they have with their credit since filing for bankruptcy.
In theory you can get a new mortgage anytime, but it is going to be more dependent on your credit score, how much equity you have, and your mortgage payment history over the past 12-months. Your grading will be determined by how long ago you filed the BK and how long ago the foreclosure was filed, but you should be able to qualify for a new mortgage loan.
Presuming it was a business, not you, that went BK., YES.
It's my understanding that student loans are not discharged by bankruptcy any longer. YOu should check this, though
It depends on how long ago the bankruptcy was filed and what it was for. If the co-signers credit is above the standards of the particular place that you're talking about, then there should be no problem.
Ugh. This question is a loaded minefield. I will say this, that up until 1996, you could discharge a student loan in a bankruptcy if it was over 7 years old. Was your past student loan discharged in the past bankruptcy? It's hard to say. You need to inform them that you filed bankruptcy 15 years ago and plead your filing as an affirmative defense. You may have to re-open your old bankruptcy case and litigate the issue. Do speak to an attorney.
Very unlikely, unless it was long ago...and of course, you better have pristine credit since then.
