My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: California
About 5 years ago my fiance's boss coerced him into co-signing on a $30,000 student loan for his wife, whom he had never met. I assume that she finished school in 2008 because she stared to make payments on it. Then, last year she just stopped making payments, moved, changed her number and is currently hiding from him.
The loan went into default, but my fiance talked to them and now HE is making deferment payments on the loan so it's won't ruin his credit.
Is there anything we can do to get his name off the loan? What kind of attorney do we need for this type of case? Bankruptcy? Contract Dispute? Civil?
