A person that files for bankruptcy will more than likely have their credit score decline. This will not make them a good candidate for being a cosigner.
no
When you co-sign on a loan or mortgage for someone, you are promising to make the loan payments if they can't. When someone files for bankruptcy, they are claiming that they cannot make their payments. It would stand to reason that if someone you co-signed on a mortgage for files for bankruptcy that you would then be liable for making the payments.
They both go bankruptcy
No, because the co-signor is not file a bankruptcy with you and the creditor will go after the co-signor instead of you.
Yes. I co-signed for an auto loan and the other borrower filed bankruptcy without notifying me. I was in the process of buying a home and before I went to settlement they pulled my credit again and her bankruptcy came up - preventing me from getting the house. So yes it will affect your credit because it will show up on your credit report that that person has filed for bankruptcy.
no
No. If someone has a bankruptcy in their last 10 years with an above average income and a low debt-to-income ratio can't co-sign a student loan.
Eighteen
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.
I am in the same boat due to illness and I am looking for a co-signer so I can rent an apt. The bankruptcy has been discharged per the court, and it is hard to rent an apartment sometimes with a co-singer. Everyone has different rules. I believe if you filed a bankruptcy, then had a co-signer, it would have no effect on them, only what you do after they co-sign

You know the answer: YOU have to make the payments. You agreed to do that when you signed the agreement. Of course, you may be eligible for bankruptcy also.

If two people own property and apply for a mortgage they must each sign and they would be called co-signers or co-borrowers. If you are the sole owner you are not called a co-signer. In that case you are simply the mortgagor.
That depends on what you're asking. Who filed bankruptcy? The owner of the car or the owner (holder) of the car loan? Did you co-sign on the loan? If you co-signed on the loan and the other signer files for bankruptcy, yes you are liable for the loan. If the owner (holder) of the car loan files for bankruptcy, you are still liable to the owner's creditors (and you need to find out who they are so you can get the lien released).
