My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Texas
My co-signer for a couple of my private CitiAssist student loans filed chapter 13 bankruptcy in Texas which immediately put my student loans in default. Citibank was paid on them by the insurer and now the insurer is using a collection agency to collect on the debt from me in full. The first notice I was given about any of this was a collection agent calling me telling me I owe the full amount of my loan which is 16,500. I have no idea what to do. I have never missed a payment and have impeccable credit. I have talked to my co-signer's bankruptcy lawyer who has said that in her 22 years of practice she has never seen this happen before. She advised me to go ahead and give the collection agent my financial information and see what they come back with. Any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
