What happens to my car loan if my co-signer files bankruptcy?

butterfly31201: What happens to my car loan if my co-signer files bankruptcy?
I have a car loan of about $ 10,000. I got this loan about 9 months ago. I am just wondering how it will affect me if my co-signer files bankruptcy.
The car is in my name and she is the co-signer. So with all this new stuff I know does this mean they can come take my car too? Even though I make the payments .

The question is …who has the title? Did you default on the loan so the co-signer took it over? If that is the case, I would say he has more rights to the car than you.

Assuming the car is in your name, being one of the co-applicants, you’d have to deal with settling the loan. It’s best to talk to a bankruptcy lawyer on this. But as fas far as I know, it’s best to have some kind of insurance on this loan that will keep the monthly payments flowing come what may. If nothing works and the bank has it’s way, it’s within its rights to repossess the car.

If your co-signor files chapter 7 and includes the car, then everything is on you.

Answer by Robert S
You stay unaffected since the car is in your name and she’s only a cosigner.
