As the co-signer of a loan you have more obligations than rights. You have signed a contract with the lender promising that you will pay the loan. If the person you co-signed for doesn't share your address (so you can monitor the account) you should ask the lender to notify you immediately in the case of a default. You should make the payment that has been missed and then seek reimbursement. Any default on the loan will affect your own credit record and if the other co-signer doesn't pay you will be held responsible for full payment of the balance due.
