You've got that stated backward. The person with bad credit who needs a credit card would be the borrower. He has to find someone with good credit to be the cosigner. And the cosigner has to really trust the borrower because he is going to be responsible for repaying the card if (when) the borrower doesn't.

If you cosign a student loan for someone does it show up on your credit report?

Like any other debt you are responsible for, it can be reported to credit reporting agencies as a debt you owe. Owing money is and of itself is not necessarily bad, but remember that 1) creditors may look at how much debt you have in deciding whether or not to grant you credit, and 2) if the other borrower fails to pay, you have to pay yourself, or your failure to pay as agreed can also be reported. You can be released from the cosigner obligation if you have the original debtor consolidate the loans in only their name. Here is a site that can help consolidate the loans www.defaultms.com

What if the cosigner has two car loans and a mortgage can they still cosign?

They could still cosign. It would mainly land on the bank to see if they would approve this person as a cosigner. More then likely they would if they have a mortgage as well as 2 other car loans that are up to date. This person probably has very good credit and all they'd need is a good amount of funds coming in to get approved.

Which credit card companies will allow someone with good credit to co-sign for a person with bad credit?

There is no way to answer this specifically. The persons involved would have to contact credit card issuers and ask about terms. It should be noted that cosigning anything affects the persons credit score and income ratio on their report. Credit card companies and banking institutions just love people like you! DON'T CO-SIGN! Once you put your name on that document you are responsible for that debt! You earned your good credit rating and the other person didn't so let them get themselves out of their own mess whether it be a family memeber, daughter, son, or friend. You will undoubtedly get stuck with this bill!


If you are not 18 yet and want to get a credit card could you get a guardian to cosign?

No, this is not possible. Legally, you have to enter a binding contract with a credit company, and even with a cosigner, no one under the age of 18 can legally enter into a contract. If you are emancipated, then you are considered a legal adult, and then that would be a different story. Other than that, this is not possible. -Jesse
