Can somebody do this?? legally

Question

ok my ex husband filed bankrupsy behind my back.. i didnt sign my name or anything. i am the co signer, but it's in both of our names.. he said i was still protected because i carry his last name.. Is it legal for him to file without my consent?!? will it come back on me?

Answer 1

he screwed you  

Answer 2

It will hurt you on anything that you are the co-signer on, if you are just authorized user on certain accounts you can write the credit bearus, and they will take it off your credit report. As far as it being legal for him to file without your consent I believe it is legal.  

Answer 3

Only if you're still legally married. He can't file bankruptcy on you without your knowledge other wise. You should contact an attorney and find out what's going on. You may still be liable for any debt that you have signed off on unless it was decided by a court that he was responsible for it.
