If you are not working and apply for an auto loan with a co-signer with sufficient employment will you qualify for the loan?

No, the person applying for the loan definitely needs a verifiable source of adequate income. The above is correct. On the loan application, it will ask for the "primaries" (that would be you, the one getting the loan) your income, how much you get paid per hour, etc. etc...BUT, I don't think it even asks for the income of the co-signer...I can't recall if it did or not. But yes, you definitely need a job :)


How do you cosign for a personal loan?

When you cosign for a loan, it's as if you are applying for loan for yourself, because if the person you cosign for does not pay, then you're responsible for making payments Very simply - a co-signer of a loan is responsible for absolutely everything as the "other" signer) who may be called primary signer). No difference. EXCEPT that the cosigner frequently does NOT have possession or legal control of any property involved in the loan, so using it (say selling it) to pay for the loan can be much more difficult, if not impossible. So whatever the responsibility, or recourse, (legal or financial) is for whatever action or lack of action required under the loan (and frequently under law too as many times you are considered the owner of any property connected with the loan), you are subject to also.


What happens when you cosign on a house?

From what I know, when you co-sign on a house or anything for the matter, you are holding not in a sense owning it, but you are holding liability for it.

What can you do if a car dealership approving a car loan only to require a cosigner or return the car?

There is not much you can do. You could try to get a loan through a credit union or loan company, but the dealership can do this if your loan requirements were not met when you bought the car. Since you need a cosigner my guess is your credit is not good or you don't have enough. Your options are get a independent loan, get a cosigner, or return the car. *********************************************************** There's not much you can do except pay it off. If the lender does not feel comfortable that you, the borrower, can service the debt; then he is within his rights to require a co-signer for the loan. If you default, then it falls upon the co-signer to pay the debt off. Co-signers are notorious for getting burnt on deals like this.

Can you protect yourself from being liable if you are a co signer?

No, that's the point of being a co-signer. Your role is to make sure the payments are made. If the primary person on the loan cannot make the payments, the co-signer is responsible for covering the payments. If a cosigner was not held responsible for the loan, it wouldn't make much sense to even have a co-signer.


What personal information is required of a cosigner for a car loan?

Name address, credit history, outstanding debts, income verification, etc. A co-signer needs to supply as much information as the primary borrower since the lender wants to make certain the loan will be repaid.Name address, credit history, outstanding debts, income verification, etc. A co-signer needs to supply as much information as the primary borrower since the lender wants to make certain the loan will be repaid.Name address, credit history, outstanding debts, income verification, etc. A co-signer needs to supply as much information as the primary borrower since the lender wants to make certain the loan will be repaid.Name address, credit history, outstanding debts, income verification, etc. A co-signer needs to supply as much information as the primary borrower since the lender wants to make certain the loan will be repaid.


Does a co signer of an auto loan need to provide insurance?

No, but consider the following. If the vehicle is uninsured and gets wrecked in an accident, the co-signer will still be responsible for paying the balance of the loan- a loan for a wrecked car. This is a serious risk when a car buyer needs a co-signer for the loan. The need of a co-signer signals that the primary borrower has not established a responsible credit record, or may not earn enough to afford the car loan. The lender considers that buyer too much of a risk and so requires a co-signer. Statistics show that a person with no established history of paying their bills, or a negative credit history, may be lax about maintaining car insurance as well. Co-signing is a risky business. The co-signer should make certain the car payments are being made on time and that the vehicle is adequately insured.

I cosigned for a car the person and i agreed she'd be the only driver and now other people are driving the car what are my rights?

As a co-signer, you really are only helping a person get a loan to buy the car. If this person you co-signed for does not pay for this loan, you are responsible to make the payments. What ever deals you made to be co-signer is between you and the other person, unless you have the agreement in writing there is not much you can do but talk to the person.

If i have a cosigner can i cosign for someone else?

In theory, yes, there's nothing stopping you from doing so. However, the fact that you needed a co-signer on your loan indicates that your credit it weak. Therefore, I'm not sure whether a lender would consider your co-signature much of a credit enhancement. Also, the fact that you have an outstanding loan (with or without a co-signer) affects your credit rating and your ability to make the payments on a loan should the principal borrower default. (You do know that co-signing is a binding committment, don't you?)

What does it mean to cosign for car?

You have good credit. Your kid just graduated from high school. You gave her $500.00 for a graduation present. She just got a new job. She needs a car to get to work. She takes the money you gave her and some money she saved. She wants to use that for the down payment on a car. She has no credit. She puts the money down and you sigh the loan along with her. You cosigned the loan. She signed the loan. She will pay it. If she can not pay it, Then they will ask you for the money. If the main signer can not pay the loan, the cosigner is then responsible for the loan.

Is it possible to be removed as a co-signer on a loan if payments are not late?

The only way to be released as a co-signer is to have the primary borrower refinance the loan in their name only or with a different co-signer if one is required. Absent primary borrower being able to get the/a loan on his/her own and pay you off, only if the lender is willing to let you off the hook. Not common, and why should they? Your probably better off working with the primary to get as much out of the asset now, (sell it for value, not have it repo'd and sold for little value), and avoid having late fees, interest, repo and legal costs, etc. added to the loan amount. (They will be). The lender may well work with you to mitigate any loss and make things happen. You were a cosigner as a responsible party.....BE RESPONSIBLE.
