Does having a cosigner help your credit?
Yes, having a cosigner on a loan or line of credit/ credit card can help your credit. It can help because, assuming they have good credit, you are more likely to get approved, which gives you a chance to build your credit. The danger is if the cosigner where to default on payments or abuse the account (such as using a credit card you both are signers on to rack up a lot of debt). So if you pick your cosigner carefully it can help you- but remember what you do on the account effects their credit, so make sure you are also responsible with the account.
Does it help to have a co signer for an auto loan if you have bad credit?
If you have bed credit, sometimes having a cosigner is the only way you can get an auto loan. The people who lend you the money so you can purchase the car want their money back with interest. If you have bad credit, they may think you will not pay them back. They may think your cosigner does not want his credit ruined and will pay them back. So, while they would not give you an auto loan, they would give you an auto loan with a cosigner who has good credit.
If your car was repossessed but redeemed by the cosigner can the bank report a repossession on your credit but not on the cosigner's?
VERY possible. reporting repos is up to the LENDER(of course, they usually do). It was very much repoed from you sooo. Nothing you can do about the co-signor having or not having a repo on their credit.
If you apply for an auto loan and have a cosigner will that decrease the amount of positive credit you get from having that loan?
Nope
Do You need a cosigner if your married?
Having a cosigner has nothing to do with your marital status. It's all about your credit. If you do need a cosigner for lets say a car loan, then it's better to have your spouse sign than ask a relative/friend to sign. Unless your spouses' credit is bad, then you have to look into a person who has good credit. Hope this helps!
I just started a new job. I have a bad cedit history. How do I qualify for an apartment lease without having a cosigner a cosigner?
Most "little" landlords - the ones without mega/multi units - do not run a credit check. Have the security deposit and first and last months rent ready and you'll find a place.
If you have bad credit does having a cosigner with good credit on the loan lower your interest rate?
No. You are considered the primary debtor and therefore the interest rate would depend on your credit history.
Does a cosigner have to have good credit?
Absolutely. The whole point to having a co-signer is the creditor wants assurance that the debt will be repaid.
Does a cosigner have to have a good credit rating to cosign?
Yes, that is the main purpose of having a cosigner. The person is accepting equal resposibility for repayment of the debt if the primary borrower should default. Therefore a cosigner needs to the have acceptable financial status as required by the lender.
When does the bank require a cosigner?
The banks want to know that they will get the money that they are owed back. Too many people today fail to pay back loans for a variety of reasons, both honest and dishonest. If you do not have an established, suitable credit history, a bank has no way of knowing if you are a good credit risk (reliable in paying your debts). By having a cosigner with the appropriately established credit history, if you fail to pay the loan, they can make the cosigner pay the loan. That is what the cosigner is singing for, to pay back the loan if you fail to do so. If you loaned money you would want to make sure you got money back, wouldn't you?
How can a person get a no money down mortgage if they have bad credit?
This is a very unlikely scenario. Firstly, the individual must attempt to clean up their credit by raising their credit score- or by having a cosigner who is willing to accept all responsibilities of late payments and non-payments.
Is it true you can improve your credit score dramatically by having someone with good credit add your name as a cosigner to one of their credit cards even if you never use it?
YES, THIS IS TRUE! IF YOU HAVE NEVER ESTABLISHED CREDIT HISTORY AND YOU ARE IN NEED OF A LOAN YOUR BEST BET IS TO BECOME A CO-SIGNER ON SOMEONE ELSE'S CREDIT CARDS TO ESTABLISH CREDIT HISTORY.
