My wife co-signed for her mother on a bank credit card. Now married, my mother is filing bankruptcy. Will my wife be paying?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Sanaz Sarah Bereliani (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bereliani Law Firm, PC
As a cosigner your wife is responsible for debts not paid by the original card signer, that is the meaning of co-signer. You can attempt to take your wife's name off as co-signer but I doubt the credit card company will allow this as that was a condition of granting the card. Once your mother in law files for bankruptcy they cannot collect the debt from her and will next pursue to collect the funds from your wife. You can choose to pay them off through a lump sum settlement or continue regular payments. If you have other debts yourselves, you can file for bankruptcy. It all depends on your situation. I'd recommend consulting an attorney.

Is there time limitation for HOA before trying to collect for past accounts?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
It's best to check with the lawyer who represented you in the Chap. 7. In general, HOA dues should have been discharged, although condominium dues are generally treated as secured, so you must be careful to distinguish the two. In any case, if the HOA dues were discharged, that cannot include the dues which accrued after you filed the Ch. 7. You'd do best to consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer to be certain, or to do what needs to be done. Good Luck.

Can the bank take my car if I file for bankruptcy?

Keith Austin Wellman
Answered by attorney Keith Austin Wellman (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Wellman Law LLC
Whether your car would be liquidated in the Bankruptcy depends on the exemptions that would apply. When Kansas exemptions apply a vehicle worth up to $20,000 can be protected. Other states, such as Missouri at $3,000, have much less protection. If you've moved states within the last 2 years you'll probably want an attorney to assess what exemptions apply. Even in the situation where there is unprotected equity there are some reasonable options such as paying the equity yourself over approximately 6-12 months or paying the equity in a Chapter 13 plan over the course of 3-5 years. Finally, although you didn't mention whether the vehicle is still being paid on or otherwise has lien, it would have to be paid off even if filing Bankruptcy or the car could be taken.
