Yes. Only in this manner can they ascertain that the cosigner is credit worthy as claimed. Everything must be verified beyond any shadow of a doubt. The cosigner needs to be well aware of the circumstances should the one they are signing for default on what is owed. If someone racks up $40,000 in credit, then doesn't pay, the cosigner is then FULLY responsible for the entire balance due, which could totally ruin their own credit rating. Just be very careful about what you are cosigning for and read ALL the fine print.

What credit card companies will allow you to apply with a co-signer?

If the cosigner has a good credit rating any credit card company would be more than happy to let them cosign. All credit card companies are interested in is getting their money back. The cosigner should always be as sure as possible that the person they are cosigning for is reliable and will pay back any outstanding balance because if they don't the cosigner is 100% responsible in paying that debt back!


Does being a co applicant affect your credit?

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 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.

How do you get a credit card 'Closed' on your Credit Report for a company which is out of business to reduce your available outstanding credit?

What income level is required to obtain a chase home mortgage?

It would depend on things such as the loan size and type, the credit rating of the applicant, and also any assets the applicant may use to guarantee the loan. If the applicant has a good enough asset base to use to guarantee a loan then there would not be a necessary income level for a Chase mortgage.
