What Happens If I Have A Co-signer On A Debt? If someone has co-signed a note for you and you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, the debt must be listed as one of your debts.  Your co-signer will be notified and may have to pay the debt.

On the other hand, if you have co-signed for someone on a note, that creditor will be also listed in your bankruptcy and your co-debtor notified.  Your debt will be discharged, and the remaining debt will become the sole responsibility of the person for whom you co-signed. When navigating through the process of bankruptcy, is is always a good idea to you work with a qualified bankruptcy attorney to ensure proper handling of your case.
