As far as credit reporting goes (your individual FICO score): NO - if the loan is funded on his name only. If you are listed as a co-borrower, co-signer or as secondary on the lease, then YES. If he went to the dealer, and used his own name, credit and income data to obtain the loan, it will appear on his credit only. Caveat: Since you are married - if he were to stop making payments, or had the vehicle repossessed - the creditors could go after you as a debtor, simply because you are married and therefore equally liable for any debt incurred during that union.

How can I take my name off a straw purchase on a car loan?

If you co-signed a car loan you can't take your name off the loan. If you co-sign for someone with no credit or poor credit you are promising to pay off the loan if they don't. The only way to get your name off the loan is to pay it off or have the borrower refinance the loan in their own name.


If you get a loan in your name can the car be titled in another name?
