Best Answer

Being a co-signer means that you will become liable for any and all amounts due should the person whom you co-signed for defaults or becomes unable to make the payments. The loan is then your responbility to pay, and then if you default on that loan, it will show up on your credit history. Otherwise, it shouldn't.
