If it legal for the bank to make my co-signer cover our loan after I filed bankruptcy and why?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kathryn Ursula Tokarska (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Kathryn Tokarska
Yes it is legal. When a person agrees to co-sign on a debt, they agree to be responsible for re-payment of that debt. If the loan is not paid by one party, the creditor can seek payment from the other. If you received a discharge in BK but the co-signor hasn't joined you as a spouse in your BK or filed their own BK and received a discharge, the co-signor's obligation remains post your BK. In other words, your BK protection doesn't extent do other people who agreed by contract to be responsible for repayment.

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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
There is a time limit, but if you filed bankruptcy in 2009, not enough time has elapsed. HOAs have what is called a statutory lien against your property for unpaid dues, and all dues that were subject to this lien before you filed bankruptcy would not have been eliminated as to the property by your bankruptcy. Bankruptcy does not change statutory liens. Of course, any HOA dues that were run up after you filed bankruptcy would be unaffected by your prior bankruptcy filing, and every month that elapses without payment is another nail in your coffin of obligation to the HOA. Better work this out or begin packing. How would a quit claim help you if you owned the property when the HOA dues were run up? To get clean title, the HOA liens need to be satisfied, and that means someone must pay them off. If you need time to do this, Chapter 13 may be your only option.

Good morning.  You can file for bankruptcy without affecting his home as long as you were not on the mortgage and you otherwise qualify.  If you are considering doing so and are located within NYC or Nassau or Suffolk County and would like to discuss it further, please give me a call.
