I seriously doubt there would be much chance of securing a homeowner's loan given these circumstances. If it were at all possible the interest rate and down payment would be VERY high, regardless of the value of the property.
Bankruptcy refinance helps homeowners who had bankruptcy or other credit matters get a home loan to find a payment assistance, and helps restore their credit while also achieving their financial security.
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.
The amount of a down payment would be the decisions of the lender. That decision would be based in part on your current credit history, and financial situation. Some lenders consider someone who has had a recent BK discharge as a good risk. The presumption being that the applicant is (or should be) almost debt free.
There is not a specific score that your credit drops to after a bankruptcy. Your credit doesn't only depend on that one thing, but the rest of your credit history as well, and sometimes it will go up on certain credit reports since now you will compared to other people with bankruptcies on their record, instead of other people without. See the related links for more information.
If you have checked your report from Equifax and a discharged bankruptcy is on there, you can simply write to them with the amendments and they are obliged to correct their report.
My guess is that late payments on reaffirmed debt(s) affect one's credit the same as late payments on any revolving credit. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

A bankruptcy is not reported to the credit bureaus by the person who filed the bankruptcy. There are hundreds of operators of databases that collect information from public records and sell them to other institutions such as credit bureaus. Therefore if the bankruptcy is valid, it will be reported and placed in the public records portion of the consumer's credit report and will remain there for the required 10 year time limit. If it is a reporting error by the CRA the consumer should send a letter of dispute, with documenting evidence and demand the bankruptcy be removed from their credit report.
Like other credit items in your history (other than bankruptcy) it will remain on your credit report for 7 years. You may be able to have it removed sooner if it is not documented properly.

No. Bankruptcy doesn't erase anything from your credit. In fact, it adds a very, very, bad thing to it.

No. Not unless you all share a SS # too. The only other situation where a roomates bankruptcy would might affect your credit is if you file for a joint or co-signed loan together.

If your co-signer has declared bankruptcy but you have not and are current on your payments it will affect your credit until the original loan is paid off regardless of what state you are in. Once that loan is paid off and your connection to the other persons credit is severed you will operate on your own credit score.
