My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: New York/Georgia
I cosigned for a student loan about 5 years ago, maybe longer. The original loan has now gone into repayment status and the primary borrower assured me they were taking care of it and were in contact with the lender. The other day I got a phone call from an attorney stating the loan has defaulted in the amount of $65,000. I know when I had cosigned on this loan originally I was saying I would be responsible so please spare me the lecture I'm already kicking myselfbut I certainly don't remember agreeing to this much money. What, if any, kind of options do I have? I certainly don't have the money to repay this amount of money myself. Should I go speak to an attorney of my own and see what kind of options there are? If so, what kind of attorney do I need?
Thank you
