Will being a cosigner for an auto loan show up on your credit report?

yes it will, as a co-signer you are held just as responsible as the primary loan holder and it will appear on your credit report no matter if the payments are made on time or if they are late.


How can being a car loan co signer affect applying for a mortgage?

If they pay the loan late it will report on your credit and effect your credit score--which effects your rate. But if they do pay late, and you can show from cancelled checks that they pay the loan you can still get a loan.


What is the difference between co signer and co borrower?

A co-borrower has an ownership interest in the property. A co-signer guarantees the repayment of the loan although they do not own the property. If the primary borrower defaults, the lender can (and will) go after the co-signer for payment. The loan will usually not show up on his credit report, unless the borrower defaults.


If someone co-signs for another person does it show up on the co-signer's credit report?

Yes, the obligation will be reflected on the co-signer's credit. Lenders do not differentiate between a signer and a co-signer. Both are responsible for the repayment of the loan. If the signer stops making payments, the lender will look to the co-signer for full repayment of the obligation. Co-signer be aware!


How is a cosigner affected when the primary signer is late on a payment?

The late payment(s) will show on the co-signer's credit report. If the loan defaults, the company can look for the co-signer to pay the remainder. Co-signing is very risky if the primary borrower has poor credit--it reflects poor payment habits.

You are attempting to establish credit in your own name your mother is co-borrower on your student loan Will it show on your credit score?

It will only show on the primary borrowers credit report. If the primary defaults on the loan then the responsibility falls to the co-signer. In brief, if the loan is in good standing the primary borrower will have it on their credit report only. If the loan is late or is defaulted it will be reported on both the primary and co-signers report.

IIf you obtain a loan with a cosigner after a discharged bankruptcy will the loan show up negatively on the cosigners credit if your payments are on time?

If the signer does not fulfil the terms of the lease then the co-signer will be responsible and it will appear on the credit report. If and when it effects the credit score will depend what is contained in the report now, example to many debts, not paying per the guidelines of the other debts, etc. Some credit report sites have scenerio calculators, most times they are free to use.
