I am a Co-Signor on a Secured Loan ... is it included in my bankruptcy?

No. This question is most commonly asked by parents who have co-signed for a vehicle for a child.
An item you co-signed for is not a part of the bankruptcy, unless the primary account holder also initiates a bankruptcy attention.
Although it is not included in the bankruptcy as an item for a discharge, it must be listed as part of the debtor's loans.
The bankruptcy court and trustee must be made aware that the debtor has co-signed for this loan prior to the bankruptcy filing.
