My mom was my co-signer for a car loan since then I have filed for bankruptcy and I am thinking of doing a voluntary surrender on the auto but I am scared it will affect her credit as well.

Should I purchased an auto with cash or an even cheaper auto loan.
If you're current on the auto loan payments, 95% of the time, the bank won't do anything, and you can keep paying the existing loan (and keep the car you have now). You may also be eligible for redemption, if the value of the car is less than what you owe. I don't think you'll... Read more »
Filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy, had the 341 hearing 40 days ago, and now one of the creditors changed the amount owed from 7k to 14k, which I was not aware.

You can request that the court approve a "reaffirmation" agreement without retaining an attorney. A reaffirmation agreement will affect your discharge rights and should be entered into only if you understand it completely.
A: If you case has no unexempt property, you can simply fail to show for the Meeting of Creditors, and the Trustee will usually dismiss the case. If you have unexempt property and/or you have already attended the Meeting of Creditors, you will have to file a Motion to Dismiss and have a hearing.

Too confusing to answer. Generally speaking, if you have fallen behind on mortgage payments the creditor has a right to foreclose on the property.
