How do I know if I should file bankruptcy or not?

You only owe a bit over 5 grand. While there is no minimum amount that you can file bankruptcy on, it might be better to contact a consumer credit counselling agency, which you must do if you are going to file bankruptcy, and see if they can help you get the debt reduced, rather than filing a bankruptcy.

What happens to any money left over after all debts have been paid?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
When you say "all the creditors have been repaid", do you mean they have been repaid 36.52%? In that case any additional payments will be used to pay your creditors until they reach 100%.

If my parents cosign on a home loan, and they declare bankruptcy, will my credit be affected?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
Your credit is not affected if a co-signer of any type of loan files for bankruptcy. Of course that assumes that the payments on the co-signed debt will continue to be made timely. Home loans are not dischargeable because they are secured debts. The bank might refuse to send you statements while your parents are in bankruptcy for fear of violating the automatic stay but you must continue to make the required payments by mail. You need to find out where the payments should be sent and make sure you have proof of payment. If you do, then your parents' bankruptcy should not affect your credit rating.
