Credit consequence to nonspouse when spouse files (or when creditor
Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2017 3:14 pm
I have a unique situation where a creditor is treating a nonspouse codebtor
on a credit card as a spouse in the sense that when debtor filed a Ch 7 BK,
creditor reduced debt to zero on nonfiler's credit report and also knocked
off a couple credit score points. Creditor is not trying to collect from
the codebtor.
Are there any other potential consequences for this nonfiler? Will their
credit score drop futher? Should they seek to voluntarily pay it when it
appears it's being written off as probably a community debt?
