The lender should be reporting payment history for all the names on the account to the credit bureaus, even if only one name is on the account address.

What does a cosigner have to to have?
A cosigner must have good credit, a reliable income and the willingness to sign for another individual. Cosigners help primary borrowers build a good credit history, along with on-time payments.
When getting a loan with a cosigner does the credit check go off of the cosigners credit or the borrowers credit?
The credit of the primary borrower(s) and the cosigner(s) are equally affected (positively or negatively) and both are subject to the credit history check and evaluation.
Primary borrower on loan?
I recently co-signed for a loan for my brother. The dealership not only put me in the primary borrower position (which was a mistake), but since then there have been payment issues. So it has been my phone ringing off the hook. Even as a co-signer (non primary borrower) I would have been responsible to make the payments in the event the primary borrower did not. I understood that. However, if you are applying for a loan being the co-signer does make a difference rather than being the primary. Typically, to be a co-signer you will have to prove (by showing the payments being made from a co-borrowers account) that they are making the payments or it will affect your DTI (Debt to Income ratio). Also as the primary YOU will get the calls if there is a late payment - in my case they did not even have the co-borrowers phone number. This really doesn't mean anything except that I had all of the pain for their being late on their payments. My credit has been negatively affected. SO IF you are going to be the primary borrower - be sure that you are willing to make the payments.
Can a cosigner have bad credit?
Generally speaking no. Cosigners are needed for a purpose, and most often it is because the primary debtors has bad credit.
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.

If you are a co-borrower not a cosigner are you responsible for repayment of the loan?
Yes, a co-borrower is as responsible for a debt as is the primary borrower. The main difference between co-buyers and cosigners is that a cosigner generally does not have any claims to the property in question but bears the responsibility of repaying the debt should the primary borrowers default on the agreement.
What are the rights of cosigners when primary borrowers won't pay loan?
Once a co-signer signs a loan agreement, they are guaranteeing payment of that expense. If the primary borrower either hits upon hard times or simply chooses not to pay, the company will go after a cosigner for the money they agreed to pay, if the main signer did not pay.

Im a primary borrower on a loan n i had2 have a cosigner to get my car. i have made several payments on my carnthe cosigner had told me tht he had the car sold hes now got the not makein payments?
Something is not right here. If you are the primary, then why is the cosigner making payments and why does the cosigner have possession of the vehicle? The is back-wards of what it should be. And why in the world would you put the cosigners name on the title? You have a mess on your hands, because you went about this all wrong. You need to contact a lawyer ASAP.
If a car is in your name as the primary but your cosigner has been making payment for the last year and many of those payments have been paid late can you legally take that car from the cosigner?
Since the cosigners isn't paying, unless you start paying instead, and catch up on all late payments, the dealer or the bank will repossess the vehicle shortly anyway, so your question is moot.

Would a cosigner's name appear in the credit bureau?
Yes. A co-signer is fully responsible for the debt. If the primary borrower doesn't make the payments it will be reflected on the credit record of both borrowers. If the primary defaults, the bank will go after the co-borrower for payment. That is the purpose of having a co-signer. The co-signer guarantees the debt will be repaid.

i am the buyer made payments but the co buyer has the car and has not made any payments what are may rights Very generally speaking, cobuyers (cosigners) have the same rights to the vehicle as the primary buyer, however, you may or may not have the right to take possession of the vehicle without permission of the buyer. Some states have specific laws about taking possession of a vehicle under those circumstances.
