My ex wants to buy a home less than a year after his discharge from a chapter 7. He claims that his bankruptcy isn't the reason that he cannot obtain a mortgage. I have an $8500 divorce judgement against him for debt he left me with and that shows at the very forefront of his credit report. He blames me for his misfortune and is claiming that if I remove the judgement (lie and say it is satisfied) that he can then obtain a mortgage. Is this true?
it may very well be true, but in order for you to lie about it effectively, you'd have to advise the court that the judgment has been satisfied. once you do that, you'd have no rights in trying to collect.
And why you want to "help" someone who left you with a debt in the 1st place is beyond me. Tell him that he is reaping what he sowed. :)
maybe it's just a kind-hearted thing, ashley.
Its one thing to be kind hearted and foolish. Not saying she is.....But with the little scenario she just said, there is no way i would!
we all know the heart overrules the head most often, though.
I am kind hearted (to a fault) and was foolish to marry this person given his drive for financial stability. I have learned a hard lesson from this short-lived relationship. I put my heart and finances into a bad situation. Thanks for your responses...I have since changed my operating procedure. 8)
girly, i hope that means you didn't do what he has asked you to do. your kindheartedness ought not to extend so far, particularly after a sour relationship.
No...I told him to figure it out for himself. He will have to be responsible over his debt and i SHOULD be repaid for that debt. After research and soul searching...it is not my problem and I refuse to be his solution.
glad to hear that.
