Can a minor take out a loan if their parent cosigns and if so is the cosigner financially responsible for the signer?

Yes, your parents can cosign for a loan and if you are smart keep up the payments on that loan as it will give you a good and early credit record. If you don't keep up the payments it's a lousy thing to do to your parents, and they will be stuck paying that loan. Marcy

What effects are there for someone who cosigns a student loan?

Cosigning on any debt makes you just as responsible as the other borrower. The balance of the debt will be on both of your credit reports, regardless of whether payments are due now, 4 years from now, or past due. The creditor can take any action against you that could be taken against the other borrower, and they do not have to go after the other borrower first.

What are the rights of a cosigner?

A cosigner is a person who signs with another person for a loan of some sort due to credit issues or financial reasons. A cosigner unfortunately does not have as many rights as the person who is first listed on a loan. For example, if you purchase a car and your boyfriend/girlfriend cosigns for you and you two break up, they cannot take the car away from you. However, if you are late on payments, the cosigner will then be responsible for the payments.


John Doe cosigns a debt for Joe Blow and Joe Blow files bankruptcy reaffirming the debt does John Doe have to pay the debt?

A co-signer is always responsible for the debt to the same level the borrower is. If Joe Blow reaffirms and continues payments, John Doe will not have to worry about anything. If Joe Blow does not continue payments, or does not reaffirm, John Doe is responsible. Speak with an attorney about your specific situation. If you can not find an attorney, contact your local Bar association and they will refer you to one.
