The need for the co-signer will depend on the management. However, it would be best, given the bad credit history of the one person, to make sure that the one with good credit can solely support the rent payment. That is because bad credit history reflects a poor payment history.

If you have bad credit and are trying to get a signature loan to pay debts can a co-signer with good credit help you if they aren't a member of your credit union?

Credit Unions are only allowed to do business with their members, so I would assume that a cosigner would also have to be a member. If it helps, give him the $5 to purchase one share.


Can a cosigner be affected on a home foreclosure?

Yes. It is a common misconception that cosigners are not responsible for the debt of the primary on the account they signed. I'm not sure how that started, or why it persists, but cosigners, comakers, coguarantors, and cobuyers are equally responsible for the debt they sign with the primary. Collections agencies will not waste a lot of time trying to get a primary to pay when there is a cosigner who is easier to locate. And, because both are equally responsible, there is no need to even try to get the primary who is not paying to do what they are already not doing when the contract was written based on the better credit of the cosigner.

Do personal loans generally require collateral or a consigned?

It really depends on your particular situation. If you are a young person like 25 or under and trying to get a loan, you may have to get a cosigner. If you have a history of good credit and are older, you should not have to get a cosigner.

Is it better to avoid having a cosigner if you're trying to build your credit?

Sometimes you can't establish good credit unless you have a co-signer. Such as when you first purchase a car or whatever. It is better to be able to do it on your own. Although in the long run, it is how well you live up to your personal financial obligations that really counts.

Your name is the first name after the leasing company on the title your cosigner is trying to take your car you've made all your payments on time can they force you to give up your car?

I had this very same instance come up and the police were called. They told me that as long as the payments were being made and you have proof of you making the payments on time, the cosigner has to leg to stand on when trying to take the car. So NO your cosigner can not take the car.
