Re: reposession
You asked if a repossession of your wife's car would affect your credit.
A repo will affect her credit directly. It will not be reflected on your credit but may affect you indirectly.
It is always better to dispose of a car at private sale, and pay off any deficiency, rather than let a vehicle get repossessed. Repossession will always cost more money in the long run. In other words, if you can afford to bail your wife out, do it now rather then let her take the fall. You will be the one that benefits.
