Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Georgia

Re: Filing Bankruptcy with a Debt that has my name and another parties name atta

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy will generally protect a cosigner being sued, harrassed, etc. It will not protect his/her credit rating. If you file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the debt must be reaffirmed and payment continued or the lender will look to the cosigner for payment. If you would like to file bankruptcy and receive council on all your options you may set up an appointment to meet with one of our attorneys. The first visit is completely free of charge and may be scheduled by phone at:

(706) 548-7070 in Athens, GA or the surrounding area, or

1-800-924-7438 in all other areas.

A map to our office can be sent via e-mail if you request.
