Best Answer

This depends on who is responsible for the loan. If this is a PLUS loan, then yes, the parents or guardians are responsible for paying for the loan. If this is a loan that they received on their own, then they should take other action before asking their parent(s) or guardian for help. They should speak with the provider (a phone number is on the bill) to find out if they can lower or defer payments, before the loan goes into default.

Are you responsible for car payments if the loan is in your parent's name?

Did your parents get loan and the car for you with the intention of you paying the payments? Then yes, you are responsible. Use this opportunity to help get some credit in your name. Pay the payments by checks on time, and when you need some credit you can show the cancelled checks or your bank statements with the same payment amount being taken out of the account monthly. A lender will take that in consideration. No. You're not responsible for the payments. If you don't pay, then you are a car thief. They can report the car stolen, and you go to jail, and they get their car back.


Do you have to pay off the Wells Fargo student loans myself?

Most loans require students to pay back the money as soon as they're out of college and have a paying job. If a parent wants to pay back the loan their student has took out, then the student won't have to pay. However, students are responsible for paying back loans like the Wells Fargo Student Loan.

Can a minor take out a loan if their parent cosigns and if so is the cosigner financially responsible for the signer?

Yes, your parents can cosign for a loan and if you are smart keep up the payments on that loan as it will give you a good and early credit record. If you don't keep up the payments it's a lousy thing to do to your parents, and they will be stuck paying that loan. Marcy

If a daughter received an unsubsidized Stafford Student Loan are the parents responsible for payments if she stops paying on it?

No. Only the student who signed the promissory note is legally obligated to repay the loan. Stafford loans do not have credit requirements or cosigners; in fact, the borrower no longer even needs to be 18. Parents may be contacted by the loan holder if they were listed as references, but only for the purpose of trying to locate the borrower. In the past, Guaranteed Student Loans did sometimes have parent "endorsers" who were responsible if their son or daughter did not pay.
