Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Louisiana

I co-signed for my husband to purchase a vehicle. Long story short, the vehicle was repossessed, we ended up divorced in 2005 he signed the house over to me via a quit claim deed in 2004. About a year later while trying to refinance my home I discovered that a suit was filed against both of us for the vehicle, judgment entered and there was a lien on my home. When I contacted the attorney who filed the judgment I learned my ex husband had filed for bankruptcy and had included the judgment in his bankruptcy; therefore, the attorney would not speak with me regarding the matter. Where does that leave me? That was in 2006 and I have not heard a word since.

You can't do anything about his heaving the debt onto you via the bankruptcy court. However, if you were never served with any suit, you may be able to attack the Judgment against you. You should bring the Judgment to a local attorney in your area and discuss the possibility of having the Judgment thrown out.
