If my estranged husband is filing Chapter 7 and we have a truck for which I am the primary on the loan will this affect my credit?
The other debts that he is asking to be excused were only in his name. The truck, which he is keeping, is in both of our names but I am the primary. I need to know what affect this will have on my credit?

So long as you are making payments on the truck loan where you are primary, your estranged husband's bankruptcy will have no affect upon your credit since he is the one filing for bankruptcy protection and not you.
However, if you do not make your payments on the truck's loan, your credit will be negatively affected.
