My state is Florida (he filed Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Georgia)
I stupidly cosigned with my boyfriend 5-03 for him to buy furniture with the agreement that he would make the payments. He verbally agreed. We did this in the state of Georgia where we purchased the furniture. I live in Florida now. He assured me he was making the payments as agreed. Later I get a call from a collection agency wanting their money saying NO payments have been made. And if that wasn't bad enough NOW he has filed CHAPTER 13 bankruptcy. I received paperwork from his lawyer naming me as a creditor . Also the furniture company as a creditor with $0 to be paid by HIM.
I got a form B10 with the letter. I want to fill it out but, I have no documentation to accompany it. I have a copy of my credit report showing it was a charge-off and his name is on that with a amt of $4620 still owing.
I tried to contact the furniture company to get a copy and they said to go through the collection agency. But it's been sold and I don't know who to contact or even if I want to contact them. Do you think if I wrote a letter to the judge explaining along with the credit report and his verbal agreement to pay would help? What do you think my chances are of the judge not letting him dump this whole bill on ME? Is there anything else you can suggest I do? Please Help me if you can
Thanks Pat
