Late payments go on the credit report of both the primary borrower and the co-signer. It affects the score and also the opinion of those who read credit reports to make decisions regarding other loans, hiring, insurance costs and many other places that most of us don't think about. The best policy is to arrange to make the payments on time--every time. An easy way is to set up automatic debits to the credit company. (Be sure to link the account you are paying from to a savings account, so that you never get an NSF.) If the payment date is not working out to your income schedule, then see if you can change the date due. It is a real imposition to create problems for the person who was kind enough to co-sign for you.
