Banking and financing with one institution is convenient, but there could be unforeseen issues with letting one institution handle all your financing needs. Banking with one institution does seem to be stress-free. You can easily pay all of your loans online and transfer funds easily, and in theory, you are often dealing with the same individuals time after time. But, what you may not have realized is if you have secured loans and unsecured loans with the same institution, the lender may have collateralized your new loans to the same collateral.

If the co-signor is someone not filing a joint Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or other bankruptcy with you, like a spouse, they should not be impacted by your filing as long as payments on the debt stay current. This includes their credit, if payments stay current after filing, there shouldn’t be a drop in your co-signors credit, even though you filed for bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases typically last three to four months and do not require that the debtor make any payments to their creditors. On the other hand, chapter 13 cases last three to five years and do require that the debtor make monthly payments to their creditors before receiving a discharge of their remaining debt once their case is finished.
