You need to discuss this issue with an unbiased professional. If you "join into" a mortgage you are indeed liable for the underlying indebtedness. Otherwise the lender wouldn't ask you to sign the mortgage. If the mortgage goes into default it will not only affect your credit rating but the lender can go after you for payment.

How does having bad credit affect my mortgage payments?

If you have bad credit you will not only have a hard time getting a loan, but you will be charged a higher APR. As a result, your mortgage payment will be higher than if you had good credit. If you already have a home mortgage, having bad credit will not affect it. If you have bad credit and go to get a mortgage, you run a risk of being denied a loan until bad debts are taken care of and even then you may have a higher rate.
