Would they check the applicant of outstanding credit Cosigning credit card for applicant with bad credit?

Yes. Only in this manner can they ascertain that the cosigner is credit worthy as claimed. Everything must be verified beyond any shadow of a doubt. The cosigner needs to be well aware of the circumstances should the one they are signing for default on what is owed. If someone racks up $40,000 in credit, then doesn't pay, the cosigner is then FULLY responsible for the entire balance due, which could totally ruin their own credit rating. Just be very careful about what you are cosigning for and read ALL the fine print.


Does a cosigner need good credit?

A cosigner is only needed because the primary doesn't have adequate credit rating/history for the needed loan. Hence, the cosigner needs to have credit good enough to qualify for the loan, presumably good, at least betterr than the primary! (Credit scores are not combined or added to get to the needed level). Understand, being a cosigner is essentially the exact same as getting a loan - the cosigner is just as liable as if he got the loan on his own..in fact needs to be more responsible, because he now has to take on the obligations of the primary too, if needed, likely without the control/posession/benefit of what was purchased.


If you have fair credit should you apply for a loan on your own or with a cosigner who has bad credit but more income and assets to get a lower rate?

How do you remove a cosigner from a credit card?

The way that can be accomplished is determined by the terms of the lending agreement. Very few, if any lending institutions would allow an account to be amended. The usual procedure is for the account to be closed leaving the original cosigner still responsible to the debt incurred up to the time of closure. The primary holder can then open another account on there own or with another cosigner.

Bad Credit Doesn't Have to Hold You Back?

It can be rough not having good credit, especially when you need a credit card. You will almost always be turned down for a card when you have a poor history. So consider bad credit cards when you need a card and don't know where to turn. You can secure your card by using your own cash to borrow against. Most cards allow you to start by depositing a few hundred of your own dollars into your account, which you can then use as your own line of credit. You can use this type of credit card to rebuild credit while enjoying your own personal card.
