Yes, a person with bankruptcy can still obtain a car loan with a co-signer. Lenders may be more willing to approve the loan if the co-signer has good credit and financial stability. However, the terms of the loan may be less favorable, such as higher interest rates, due to the borrower's bankruptcy. It's essential for both the borrower and co-signer to understand the risks involved.
They can still come after the cosigner, and it will still reflect poorly on your cosigner's credit history. You have been absolved of the debt, not your cosigner.
you are still liable for that loan. the lender may decide to not accept the bankruptcy charge and go after you for the money.
No, the primary signer is still liable. But if a loan is not dischargeable, such as a student loan (actually is is extremely hard to discharge), both the primary and co-signer will STILL be liable after the bankruptcy
The loan would be part of the bankruptcy filing. I can't see how the death of the cosigner is significant. (In financial terms, that is.)
The cosigner's credit will only be affected if the person that they cosign for defaults on the loan. The bankruptcy will not affect the cosigners credit.
Yes you are still responsible, especially if you didnt put it in your Bankruptcy, Any obligation you dont include you are still responsible for
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.
Yes! The whole point of cosigning a loan, from the lender's perspective, is that they have 2 people on the hook for the loan in the event it goes sour. If the person stops making payments (bankruptcy or not), they will come after the cosigner, making the cosigner wish he/she had never, ever cosigned.
If you default on your loan, the cosigner is stuck with paying it off. If your credit had been any good in the first place, you would not have needed a cosigner.
Nothing unless they filed on your loan.
The company wants their money so if the primary doesnt pay then the cosigner must. Their is no way of getting around this. Bankruptcy should be outlawed. If you cant afford things dont take on the debt.
Normally a cosigner has to be able to pay the loan if the signer does not pay. So the cosigner should have better credit than the person seeking the loan.
