No. You are responsible for the debt if the primary holder is not paying their debt.
If the primary signer defaults the co-signer will become responsible for paying the loan.
If you are the co signer, then it is automatically your responsibility if he defaults
The co-signer can sue the primary debtor for reimbursement of what the co-signer pays the creditor.
Co-Signer
The co-signer.
A co-borrower has an ownership interest in the property. A co-signer guarantees the repayment of the loan although they do not own the property. If the primary borrower defaults, the lender can (and will) go after the co-signer for payment. The loan will usually not show up on his credit report, unless the borrower defaults.
The primary borrower and the co-signer are equally responsible for paying the loan. if the primary defaults, both their credit records will be ruined and the lender will go after the co-signer for payment. The difference is that the primary is generally the owner of the property and the co-signer is agreeing to pay a debt for property they do not own.The primary borrower and the co-signer are equally responsible for paying the loan. if the primary defaults, both their credit records will be ruined and the lender will go after the co-signer for payment.

The other signer is responsible.
That would be unlikely since a co-signer guarantees the loan will be repaid if the primary borrower defaults. A bankruptcy would indicate the proposed co-signer has no money, owes a large debt and cannot pay their own way.That would be unlikely since a co-signer guarantees the loan will be repaid if the primary borrower defaults.

Yes. If the signer defaults on the loan, then you, as the cosigner, would be liable.
That's the borrower.
No.
