My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: NC
Chapter 7 filed in 1992
Apparently my sister filed a Chapter 7 in 1992 (The family is just now finding out becasue of mishandling of our mothers money by this sister) . Since our mother passed away last year the family is now discovering that our sister used our mother’s name (to obtain loans to purchase a house with) and used our mother's monthly income to secure a house for close to half a million dollars (in 2000)( The house s in my sisters name but the loans for the downpayment are in our mother's name). My question is doesn’t banks or credit unions check to see a persons background and if there is a bankruptcy in the background does it effect their credit in any way?
