No it helps it if you make timely payments.. but you are equally responsible to repay the debt. Also, it takes away from your available credit so make sure it is something you really need to get in debt for. If you mean co-signor, YOU are responsible for all the debt and it goes against your credit entirely even though the other party is "supposed" to be responsible.
"Affect" doesn't necessarily mean something bad. Yes, being a co-applicant affects your credit. If you are a co-applicant, it is usually affects your credit the same way it would if you were the only applicant. If the loan is repaid in a timely manner, it affects your credit positively. If the loan is paid back in a non-timely manner, or if it is defaulted on, it affects your credit adversly.
Hell yeah it does!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes unfortunatly i think so.
Not if you don't use your spouse on the application as a co applicant or "additional income". If you don't need their income, then leave them off and no, it should not affect.
Yes. Anytime you enter into a contract as a co-applicant, co-signer, co-owner, etc. you are equally responsible for the debt incurred.

Yes, if a co-applicant files for bankruptcy, it can affect the primary applicant. The bankruptcy may impact the creditworthiness of both parties, potentially leading to higher interest rates or difficulty in obtaining future credit. Additionally, any joint debts may still be owed by the non-bankrupt applicant, which could strain their financial situation. It's essential for the primary applicant to understand their own financial exposure and rights in such a scenario.

The question is a liitle vague. Can your credit be too bad that even having a co-signer won't help? Not necessarily, as long as the co-signer has excellent credit. The co-signer's credit history overrides the applicant's. Can your credit be too bad that you cannot act as a co-signer? Absolutely.
Yes. Just have the co-signer with the better credit score fill out the application as the first applicant. They won't necessarily even run a credit report on the second applicant.
Yes. And it will make a difference in your income to debt ratio.
A co-applicant is someone who applies for something along with another applicant.
