The primary borrower may be WILLING to take responsibility, but most likely the lender will not think he is ABLE to make the repayment. That's why he needed a cosigner in the first place.

There is a difference in being responsible for a debt and being legally liable for one.

The primary debtor may be responsible, but signing a contract as a co-signer makes you legally liable for that debt as well. Credit grantors are in the business of extending credit. They are adept at evaluating risk. When you co-sign for someone, you are taking a risk that a professional lender was unwilling to take. This is why credit grantors make high-risk consumers get a co-signer in the first place, so they will have someone else who "can not get out of it" and will pay the debt.

My husband cosigned for my 2nd mortgage and he is not on the first mortgage. if we have the same lender for both mortgages and we quit paying on the first mortgage how fast will his credit be impacted?

Since he is not listed as a borrower on the first mortgage his credit is not affected by paying or not paying that mortgage. Even if both loans are with the same company, he is only held responsible for the loan in which he signed.
