What could I do about a motorcycle credit card debt?

Marjorie A. Guymon
Answered by attorney Marjorie A. Guymon
Bankruptcy lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You are liable for the debt, so just like you are attempting to collect from your ex the creditor is entitled to collect from you. You can negotiate payments or seek bankruptcy protection.

My wife co-signed for her mother on a bank credit card. Now married, my mother is filing bankruptcy. Will my wife be paying?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Sanaz Sarah Bereliani (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bereliani Law Firm, PC
As a cosigner your wife is responsible for debts not paid by the original card signer, that is the meaning of co-signer. You can attempt to take your wife's name off as co-signer but I doubt the credit card company will allow this as that was a condition of granting the card. Once your mother in law files for bankruptcy they cannot collect the debt from her and will next pursue to collect the funds from your wife. You can choose to pay them off through a lump sum settlement or continue regular payments. If you have other debts yourselves, you can file for bankruptcy. It all depends on your situation. I'd recommend consulting an attorney.

Is this a good time to file Chapter 7?

Pamela L. Stewart
Answered by attorney Pamela L. Stewart (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Pamela L. Stewart, Attorney at Law
Based on the information provided, I cannot advise you if this is a good time. Is your home paid for? If not, how much do you owe on it? The amount of equity would determine if you can use Texas or federal exemptions. Additionally, if you are in Texas, you may have some non-exempt assets (brokerage account and stock) that the Trustee could ask you to turnover. How much is the debt you owe on the account you are being sued on? Sounds like you could negotiate a settlement with them.
