If a loan is cosigned and the original borrower defaults does the lender legally have to notify the cosigner?
The co-signer was notified when the original loan documents were signed. Co-signing a loan makes both parties 100% liable for any unpaid balance. Both parties know the money is due and are expected to understand the terms of the loan before they sign. Lenders don't care about the specifics of where the payment comes from (as in; "He always made the payments before the repossession") They have no obligation to further notify them upon default.
