What Happens to a Co-Signer When I File Bankruptcy?

If someone cosigned a loan for you, he or she will still be on the hook if that loan is eliminated in bankruptcy and will have to pay the loan. If your cosigner is a relative, you can imagine the stress this might cause in your relationship. If you have a cosigner you want to protect, you’ll need to consider negotiating an alternative payment plan with your creditor or filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
