I'm an 81 year old, and have a pickup that I Co- signed on for grand daugher. Her balance is still over $41,000 since the old was not pd for they put in on top of the new pickup. She cannot pay for it and I'm on SS and I can't pay either. I have not even been in the pickup. What can I do? Loretta
Hey Loretta, I am so sorry to hear about this situation. If you are only on SS, that income may be protected against any actions the creditor takes (source: www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/rulings/oasi/41/SSR79-04-oasi-41.html ). That said, your granddaughter may not be protected, so she can look at what options she has as if they repo the truck, then it may be likely that they will sue her for the difference of the amount she owes and the amount they get at auction which can be thousands of dollars. If she'd like to learn about her options, she can take our free calculator at tryascend.com. If you would like to still do something even though the debt is protected, please let me know. Sorry again, Loretta, and I hope you can get this resolved soon.
If someone ends up in a position to where they are in debt and find themselves struggling and trying to find help . How is bankruptcy helping when y’all are charging crazy amounts when we can’t even cover the debt we currently have how can someone pay these fees! It put majority of us in a bad position!
Hi! Great question. A chapter 7 can actually be a great option for some people because it discharges the debt, is the cheapest and fastest option, and yes it hurts your credit but you can rebuild after. A chapter 7 doesn't have additional fees besides the single attorney fee. A chapter 13 is more expensive but again, it can be great depending on your situation.
