President William McKinley – The Cosigner Who Filed

William McKinley was elected President in 1897.  Filing for bankruptcy in 1893, while he was governor of Ohio, didn’t stop him at all! He ran for president 4 years after filing, and won! And it shouldn’t stop you!

McKinley co-signed on a $130,000 loan for a friend to keep a business open. The friend’s business closed and McKinley was left with the debt. McKinley filed bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Act of 1867. Back then,   bankruptcy gave you protection from garnishment while paid back creditors, much like Chapter 13 today. 

Voters did not care about McKinley’s financial problems. He was reelected governor and then elected twice as President of the United States. McKinley sought help for his financial problems.

Have you cosigned for a friend or family member?  Then they defaulted, and the creditor is coming after you? Were you left holding the bag? Co-signing debt makes you as responsible as the other person. If they can’t pay – you owe!
