Question
we had bankruptcy discharge about 5yrs ago, my husband at that time was a cosigner on a boat loan. the loan was in his friends name and him as a cosigner. now his friend is not paying, are we still responsable for this , or should it have been part of the bankruptcy, we did not do a reaformation.
If the boat loan was listed in your bankruptcy case then your liability should be gone. As long as you did not reaffirm the boat loan then you should no longer be responsible for boat loan. Even if the friend does not pay for the boat, you should not be held legally liable for the loan. If you need further assistance you can contact me at norma@socaladvocates.com
