If someone cosigns on your vehicle and you don't pay the loan can the bank file charges on both parties?

Yes. A co-signer is a person who is legally responsible for the debt in the instance that it is not being paid by the original debtor. If the debtor does not make the payments, this affects the credit of both parties, which is why it is an extremely bad idea to co-sign a loan for anyone unless you make an agreement whereby the co-signer gets the money and makes the payment himself or herself, thereby making sure the debt is paid and credit is not affected.

yes. thats the purpose of a cosigner. they are the person the bank goes after when the primary signer defaults on the loan. A good rule of thumb is to never cosign for anyone ever. Especially family.

Yes because the co-signer is as responsible for the loan as you are.


Spoiled
Yes, you are both responsible. It will hurt your credit as well as the co-signers

Your co-signer is your back-up. They are saying that if you don't pay, the loan originator has the right to come to them for the balance owed.


John Stamos
Yes, both parties are responsible. The reason the bank let the other person co-sign on the loan is because they had a better credit report and were more likely to be able to pay it back.

The bank wants their money and will go after each and every person on the note until it is satisfied.


Marcella D
Yes and it will go on both crediy reports.


Thunderklese
It's a sure thing that they will.

They can and they will. If the bank takes the car back, they will sell it for whatever they can get and you and/or the co-signer will have to pay the difference. The best thing for you to do is pay for it now or you'll be paying for it later and you won't even have it.
