What are my rights to keep debt from my ex spouse from being discharged?

Answered by attorney Christine Ann Kingston (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Christine A. Wilton
Your ex spouse can correct any errors in her bankruptcy papers at any time during her case. If you have documentation and evidence that she is hiding assets, then you can provide that documentation to the trustee assigned to administer her estate. Otherwise, there is not much you can do and her liability on those debts in which you are a co-debtor will be discharged. This will leave you liable for that debt.

Can I make my boyfriend sign a quit claim out of title?

Maureen O'Malley

Bankruptcy lawyer at Maureen O'Malley
No, that would be fraud. You'll be responsible for the debt yourself, and I assume he'll surrender his ownership in it. If there's no equity in it, or too little, it won't be taken and the lender won't foreclose if you keep on paying.

How does the deed in lieu get reported to the credit agencies?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey M. Cook (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at J.M. Cook, P.A.
The mortgage company was more than likely not reporting on the loan since it was part of the bankruptcy. Therefore, there is a better than average chance, the DIL will not show up on your credit report. As to the "HFA mortgage", those requirements change all the time and will also be affected by whether the failed mortgage was an FHA mortgage. I would suggest you rent for a while until you build up a substantial down payment.
