You can always file as an individual but whether that would do any good depends on your state law, because in some states, debts are considered to be joint even if in one name so if in say the wife's name and wife files, husband may be responsible due to the marital relationship.

Yes, a co-signer can file for bankruptcy, which can affect their liability on a car loan. However, filing for bankruptcy does not automatically eliminate the primary borrower's obligation to repay the loan. If the primary borrower continues to default, the lender may pursue the co-signer for repayment, as they are jointly responsible for the debt. It’s important for both parties to understand the implications of bankruptcy on their financial obligations.
