Do what you agreed to do. Pay the lender.
The cosigner's credit will only be affected if the person that they cosign for defaults on the loan. The bankruptcy will not affect the cosigners credit.
You could be held liable for the payments if the other party defaults. Your signing the contract is "insurance" for the lender that payments will be made, and they will consider you responsible if the primary party defaults.
A lot of creditors will not accept a co-sign from someone with no credit. They want proof that if the person who takes out the loan defaults, the co-signer will have the credit funds available to pay off the loan.
Yes. If the signer defaults on the loan, then you, as the cosigner, would be liable.
Yes. And if he does he will become equally responsible for paying the mortgage if the primary mortgagor defaults on their mortgage payments. The bank will go after him for 100% of the debt.
if the principal loanholder defaults you will be stuck with the payments.Miss them and your credit can go VERY BAD!
how many times can someone cosign a car
Of course. The lender will take the necessary steps to verify the co-signers identity and income since the co-signer is agreeing to pay the loan if the primary borrower defaults.
Yes.
You can co-sign, but no creditor will ask you to nor accept you as such because you can't gaurantee you'll cover the debt if the other party defaults.
Yes
Yes - unfortunately when you cosign a loan - you cosigned a loan and if the owner defaults you are still responsible no matter how old you are. You could check with the lenders but wait until they contact you.
