Florida | Bankruptcy
Legal Question
My son co-signed on an auto loan. He became responsible and a judgment (with interest) was filed against him. He filed bankruptcy and the judgment was listed on bankruptcy. Now, some 16 years later, he is trying to get a home equity loan and the judgment shows up. Is there anything he can do to get this lifted, or will be be responsible for the whole loan? It has risen from $4,000 to $10,000. He tried to talk to them about negotiating for a smaller amount, but they would not even talk to him, said he owed the whole amount.
