You need to discuss the situation with the lender and provide proof that the primary borrower lied on the application. However, the lender may not want to hear your story. You stepped up to guarantee that the loan would be paid. You may need to sue the primary borrower in court yourself if they have defaulted on the loan.

The cosigner has the same legal obligations to repay the debt as does the primary borrower. If the primary borrower defaults, the lender can begin proceedings to collect the full amount owed plus applicable fees from the cosigner. A cosigner can be sued just as can the primary borrower. And if the primary borrower claims bankrutpcy, the cosigner will still get "stuck" with the debt. The credit report of the cosigner will be equally affected, either in a positive or negative way, depending upon the circumstances.
