Co signed loan

If a loan is co-signed and I file for bankruptcy will the loan need to be paid outright or will the monthly payment option be available to my co-signer?

That is up to the lender – we suggest to our clients that if they have a co-signed loan to have the co-signer speak to the lender BEFORE the client files for bankruptcy in order to arrange new reapyment terms in advance. In this way the lender isn’t surprised by the bankruptcy documents and they may be more receptive to allowing the co-signer to simply start making the regular monthly payments.
