OP here with more details: the private student loans they are cosigned on are current/paid on time, but other private student loans (with the same lender) are about to default. Can this in any way cause problems for my cosigner?
Not if he did not cosign on the loans.
Yes, an employer can cosign for a student loan. Any one can cosign for a student loan if they meet the requirements.
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.
In the US, the answer is yes you can. If your husband need help with consolidating his defaulted student loans, please click on the link under the "Related Links" section below.
Yes, it is possible to cosign for student loans for two children. To cosign, one will have to meet the credit requirements.
YES
You will be responsible for the money.
SURE!! BUT GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND HIM WHEN THE LOAN GOES INTO DEFAULT!
a cosigner is someone that also signs a note, meaning that if the original signer dose not pay the obligation the second signer or cosigner must pay. It means, if the person getting the loan does not pay it off, the cosigner is responsible for paying the loan off.
In the USA, if the student loan is Federal like a Stafford or Perkins loan, then yes you can cosign with bad credit. If the student loan is a private student loan, then no, you must have good credit. Keep in mind, you should never take out private student loans out until you have used up Federal loans, grants, and scholarships. Private student loans have high interest rates and no benefits.
