The primary borrower is responsible for making the payments and adhering to the terms of the lending contract. The cosigner is legally obligated only if the primary borrower defaults on the lending agreement or files bankruptcy (chapter 7).

How can one remove a cosigner from an equity loan if the cosigner is not on the first mortgage title?
The title has nothing to do with the loan. The loan will need to be refinanced using a different cosigner or only the primary borrowers.
Can a cosigner for a loan be relinquished from repaying the loan?
Only one way, have the borrower consolidate the loans without you being a cosigner. Then the original loans are paid off, and a new loan is made in only the borrowers name.
Who pays loan on joint account when only one signed for the loan then dies?
I'm not sure if I get the question. Are you talking about having a cosigner orlike in a PLUS loan? If a borrower dies, the loan can be discharged.
After cosigning on an auto loan and that car is traded in are you still the cosigner on the new vehicle?
No. You are only cosigner on the one vehicle you signed for. All bets are off once the car is traded.
Can a person with bad credit get a loan with a cosigner with good credit?
Possibly. However, the cosigner needs to understand all the implications should the one needing the cosign on the load default on payments. If the primary borrower doesn't pay the co-signer will be held personally responsible for paying the loan in full. That's what they agree to when they sign as co-signer.

If you cosign an auto loan for someone and they refinance in one year and remove you from the loan how will that affect your credit assuming all payments are made on time?
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.
I just bought a new car but two days later the dealership called and said i need a cosigner I found one and they have very good credit should my APR and monthly payment go down with a cosigner?
No because you applied for the loan with YOUR credit. For whatever reason (you have the right to find out why) the dealership decided you were too big of a risk to be granted the loan you requested. The purpose of the cosigner is that in case you mess up your cosigner will be responsible for the loan.

Can your cosigner refinance your car without your permission?
No. As the one who originally took out the loan, they cannot refinance your car loan without your permission. The only thing they can do (and have to do) is to pay your payments if you default on the loan.

When a loan is in default does the lender have to notify the cosigner?
When a loan is in arrears (past due), the creditor has the legal right to contact the cosigner unless the loan is included in bankruptcy. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act states this fact. The sole purpose of a cosigner/guarantor is to guarantee the loan, hence it is likely if no payment arrangements have been made by one, they will collect from the other.
If two people are listed on title of car and person on loan defaults is other person responsible?
The car goes back regardless. If BOTH of the two people are on the loan, then BOTH are responsible. But if only one is on the loan then ONLY that person is reponsible.
Can a cosigner be added to a loan?
When applying for a mortgage, one has the option of adding a cosigner. One needs to consider the advantages as well as disadvantages before deciding on a cosigner. Additional income might improve the chances of getting approved for the loan, however, other factors, such as lower credit score might have the opposit effect.
Do you have the right to sell a car after repossession on a cosigned loan?
Yes, but only if you are the cosigner. When you cosign it is usually for these reasons: The person the loan is for is a minor The person has a poor credit rating The person doesn't have collateral When you cosign you are 100% responsible for that debt. All the banking institution is interested in is getting their money, so if the car was repossessed the cosigner has two options ... take over the payments or sell the car and hope it pays off the total loan. It's a smart thing to do so it doesn't ruin one's credit rating. If you aren't the cosigner, but the person the loan went too, shame on you! If you can afford to continue to make payments now, then you could have made those payments on the loan cosigned by someone who was nice enough to do it.
