If both your names are on the loan, you are both responsible. If one doesn't pay, the other has to. Also, if one writes the car off in bankruptcy, the other person still owns it and has to pay for it. If you don't, it will get repossessed and affect your credit score negatively. However, you should consult your bankruptcy attorney to be sure.
