If you are not 18 yet and want to get a credit card could you get a guardian to cosign?

No, this is not possible. Legally, you have to enter a binding contract with a credit company, and even with a cosigner, no one under the age of 18 can legally enter into a contract. If you are emancipated, then you are considered a legal adult, and then that would be a different story. Other than that, this is not possible. -Jesse

How can you apply for a credit card if you cannot get your own but have a family member with excellent credit who will cosign?
Rather than ask your family to jeopardize their credit, why not get a debit card until you've built up your own credit? First, it assures family that you won't default on payments and make THEM pay, and second it lets YOU build up a credit score. It's far more mature as well.

If you cosigned for a credit card and the person defaulted on it and you were never notified of the default can you fight this on your credit report?
You can try. It probably won't work. Basically lenders assume that if you cosign for something, you understand the risk. They don't care if the primary person forgot to notify you that he/she was having trouble. It's not fair, but it will make you think hard before you cosign for someone again. Be very careful.
