Not really. When you co-sign you agree to pay the primary borrower's debt if they fail to pay. That debt would be counted as your debt if you applied for credit for yourself. In fact, if the primary borrower falls behind on their payments or fails to pay the debt that you co-signed for, it could ruin your own credit rating unless you make those payments on time.
