Need Help Chapter 7

My wife is close to filing chapter 7 due to lots of medical bills and credit cards, we do have a joint account with Honda Finance, can she list that account in her BK so she can get it discharged and how it will effect me since I am also on that account ???

Re: Need Help Chapter 7

If the loan is included in the bk, then you both will be affected, and this will go on both of your credit reports.   Just be aware that the only way car loans are discharged in a bk is if the lender takes back the car.
 
Your only other options are to a) pay it off in full (doubtful I know) or b) sign a reaffirmation agreement stating that you will continue to pay the monthly payments and that you acknowledge that you still legally owe the debt.  
 
But the credit effect will be on both of you if you don't sign one of those reaffs.   But don't sign it unless it makes financial sense to do so.
