Could vehicle get repo if co buyer is in bankruptcy?

It depends on the specific terms of the loan agreement and the bankruptcy laws in the jurisdiction where the co-buyer filed for bankruptcy. In general, if a co-buyer files for bankruptcy, the lender may be able to repossess the vehicle if the co-buyer is the primary borrower on the loan and the vehicle is not paid off. However, if the primary borrower is not in bankruptcy, the lender may not be able to repossess the vehicle as long as the primary borrower continues to make payments on the loan.

In some cases, the bankruptcy court may order the co-buyer to surrender the vehicle to the lender, even if the primary borrower is not in bankruptcy. This can occur if the bankruptcy court finds that the co-buyer's bankruptcy has caused the lender to suffer a financial hardship.

If you are a co-buyer on a vehicle loan and your co-buyer has filed for bankruptcy, it is important to speak with an attorney to discuss your rights and options. An attorney can help you understand the bankruptcy laws in your jurisdiction and can represent you in court if necessary.
