Do I simply have to return the car and forfeit the down payment or is it a more complicated legal issue if the cosigner suddenly refuses to sign?

David F. Stoddard
Answered by attorney David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
The dealer should allow you to return the car and refund all or most of your down payment. However, depending on what paperwork was signed, they can make it harder. For example, if you signed a contract to purchase the car for xxx.xx dollars, they can take the position that you must come up with the money and it is your problem to obtain financing. Ultimately, I think you would prevail in court because they should not have let you take the car home without money in hand or financing in place. However, they may intimidate you and act as if you have to do as they say because they are more sophisticated in these matters. You do have some leverage. You have the car. You might tell them you do not know where it is and refuse to turn it in unless they undo the deal. Better yet, get a lawyer to help you.

If one partner goes bankrupt, will it affect the others credit?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney William Monroe Rubendall (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
Co-owners of a mortgage are both liable to pay the loan. If one files bankruptcy the other remains liable. Bankruptcy is not part of the non-filer's credit report. As long as the loan continues to be paid, the lender cannot foreclose.

What are the repercussions of not paying for a home after Chp. 7 Bankruptcy? I've kept paying for 3 years, but now thinking of walking away from it?

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
There should not be any ramifications.  If you did not reaffirm the debt, then the loan was discharged in your bankruptcy case (assuming you received a discharge) and you owe no further obligation on it after they foreclose or sell the property. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.
