Oh yes it does. That person put their credit on the line when they signed the contract making me a cosigner.
A cosigner cannot simply remove their name from the contract. The cosigner is obligated equally with the primary borrower until the loan is paid. A cosigner's credit history will be affected, hopefully in a positive way.
Both are responsible until paid in full. It will also be on both credit reports as well.
A loan cosigner is responsible for repaying the loan if the primary borrower fails to do so. They are obligated to make payments on time and ensure the loan is paid off in full. Additionally, the cosigner's credit score may be affected if the borrower defaults on the loan.
Renting an apartment or home will not show up on your credit. That just builds up rental history for yourself. The only time a renter will ever report you to a credit agency is if you move out with a balance that was not paid within 14 to 30 days of your move out.
Your cosigner's credit report should also reflect the loan. In this case, it should show as paid on time as agreed.

If the mortgage payments are still being made then no - they won't be, however - if you default on the mortgage payments then yes - they will go after the cosigner and if it is not paid their credit will be effected.
AnswerIf you have already been the cosigner on the loan, you will remain so until the loan is refinanced or paid in full. It doesn't matter if the cosigner has lost their job or not. As long as the person is making their payments, the cosigner isn't affected at all.Good luck job hunting cosigner! :)
No it can not be paid at the end of the loan. Credit life is to insure the creditor. If you pass away before the loan is paid credit life will pay off the loan. If there is no cosigner then why would you insure the creditor? There is no advantage to you at all for getting credit life.
The co-signer's credit record is wrecked as badly as the primary borrower's. The co-signer has guaranteed the loan would be paid and they are held equally responsible for paying the loan if the primary borrower fails to pay. It will be noted as a default on their credit record. "Co-signers" who agree to guarantee repayment of a loan for a poor credit risk often do so without understanding their own risk and whether they have the resources to repay that loan.
No. The cosigner should make certain the loan payments are being made since they guaranteed the loan would be paid back. If the primary borrower isn't paying then the cosigner must pay or their own credit record will be ruined and the lender can go after them for payment.No. The cosigner should make certain the loan payments are being made since they guaranteed the loan would be paid back.

YES !!! He/she should certainly discuss it with the cosigner. It may be a gift or it may just be that the cosigner doesn't want to have that note appearing on his/her credit report. Whatever the reason, even if the cosigner did it as a gift, the primary should acknowledge and express appreciation. But be prepared if the cosigner expects the loan to be paid back.

No, the cosigner will not have rights to the car after its paid off because the purpose of a cosigner is to pay off the notice if you fail to do so. Being a cosigner does not give them to any rights to the car.
