AnswerIf the surviving spouse was not a joint borrower on the vehicle loan the repossession affect/appear on their credit report.
Goes on your credit as a repossession.
No.
For Kentucky the estate is responsible for the debts of the deceased. Only after they are resolved can the estate be closed any any remainder distributed.
Unless both spouses signed the credit card agreement, the answer is no. The debt can only be charged against the property of the deceased, but must be fully paid (or paid as much as it can be in the case of an insolvent estate) before anything can be paid to the spouse.
If the surviving spouse did not sign the credit card agreement then they are not responsible for it. However, the creditors could still come after the deceased spouse's estate (i.e. life insurance) for the balance of credit. You probably want to ask an estate attorney that question.
The bank will take possession of the property by foreclosure. If the mortgage is in the deceased parent's name it will not affect anyone's credit.
A spouse is legally allowed to use a credit card and the credit card company won't care anyway as long as the bills are getting paid. You can try to report it but you need the card number and the name of the deceased as well as their social security number. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean. You'll probably get frustrated and give up.
if you co-signed on the loan then your credit will be impacted negativly just as his
Nope. The lender (mortgage company) is the entity that reports information to the credit agencies, so if your name is not on the loan documents the home will not affect your credit. Being on the deed gives you rights to the property but is not a credit trade line.
It does not. The debt belongs to the deceased. If the estate cannot settle the account, the credit card company is not going to get paid.
No, Wisconsin will not garnish a spouses wages to satisfy a credit card debt. Credit cards do not generally seek garnishments unless the amount is very large.
