-if they agree to have their name removed from the house, you will then enter into a new agreement with the bank, accepting sole responsibility of the balance of the bond
legally you should not be flagged, but there have been cases where one party signed over his power of attorney to the debt review company without telling their partner, now both of them are flagged at the credit bureaus
