You'll be pursued for payment as well. Often, they will concentrate on the cosigner because you're the one who signed agreeing to pay the loan if the other person did not. You're credit will be harmed also.

Unfortunately if you cosigned a loan that means you were willing to pay the loan if the other signer defaults and if that happen they will go by any means to collect that money that you "cosigned/said" you would cover if the other person defaults. I would go after that person that you cosigned for if it has gone this far.


Will it affect your ability to get a loan if you cosigned for someone else?

Be very cautious about co-signing for a loan. If the primary borrower defaults, you are responsible for the loan payment. It also may affect your ability to get a loan if your debt to income ratio is already high.

How can you be a cosigner if the title is in the name of the person you cosigned for?

Many people cosign a loan for property they don't own. Many are uninformed of the consequences of cosigning. They don't realize they are agreeing to be completely responsible for a loan for property that belongs to someone else. If the primary borrower defaults on the loan and the cosigner must make the payments, the cosigner has no automatic right to the property.
