Many lenders will, however, look at the overall financial picture of the cosigner; for example the person's debt to income ratio, potential for increased future income, etc.

The cosigner's credit will only be affected if the person that they cosign for defaults on the loan. The bankruptcy will not affect the cosigners credit.
No you can build credit by taking out a loan and paying it back ON TIME. Or have someone cosign a loan for you in order to get approved for a card or loan but make sure the cosigner fully understands the agreement because they'll take on most of the risk.
If you're talking about a cosigner, then yes. The cosigner's credit gets dinged also. Be careful about who you cosign for.
Yes.
Yes, all action on the part of the primary borrower will be reflected on the cosigner's credit report.
Yes, but if you don't pay the bill the cosigner will be held responsible
The cosigner's credit isn't affected one ioto unless the person who was responsible for the loan payments defaulted, then and if the cosigner also defaulted. In other words, just being a cosigner does not affect ones credit ratings.
They could still cosign. It would mainly land on the bank to see if they would approve this person as a cosigner. More then likely they would if they have a mortgage as well as 2 other car loans that are up to date. This person probably has very good credit and all they'd need is a good amount of funds coming in to get approved.
The spouse is not responsible and should not have this on her credit. But the estate of the deceased will still be responsible for the debt.
Yes, that is the premise of having a cosigner. The person cosigning must have a reliable, acceptable level of income and a good credit history.
Yes, that is the main purpose of having a cosigner. The person is accepting equal resposibility for repayment of the debt if the primary borrower should default. Therefore a cosigner needs to the have acceptable financial status as required by the lender.
