If an individual is a co-signer on a loan in which the primary buyer defaults, the co-signer is then responsible for the remaining payments of the loan. It is important to know the financial strength of an individual before co-signing for them, as their default could lead to many financial issues for the co-signer.

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.
