Will and how you will be affected if you cosign on a loan. Financial institutions and banks will only ask for a cosigner if they do not believe that the borrower can afford the payment or if they do not trust that the payment will be made given their credit history. So if you are being asked to cosign then the borrower either needs your credit history or your income.

So yes, in short, there is a 100% direct impact on your credit when you cosign. This debt will report until the loan is paid off, or refinanced out of your name. If you choose to cosign for someone, then that is entirely up to you....but to proceed with caution. I would only recommend cosigning for someone in a situation where you have it within your means to make the payment yourself if the other party doe's not. You should also monitor the account and make sure that the payments have been made and prepare to make them yourself if the other party doe's not. Now, if you do not have the money to make the payment then I would strongly discourage cosigning, you never know if that person will lose their job, get hurt, become disabled etc. So yes, your credit can be affected negatively or badly if you cosign for someone. Again, a cosigner is required to make the payments on the loan as well. This is why the bank approved the loan, so that both signer and cosigner are now liable to make the payments.

How cosigning on an auto loan, personal loan etc. can also be a positive. If you cosigning and the party pays as promised, then this will also help build your credit. If you are looking to make a purchase for yourself such as buying a home or yourself a vehicle, then research and calculate your Debt to Income ratio before cosigning because this debt will report on your credit and this may eliminate you from being able to apply for credit in the future.

Cosigning on a mortgage, cosigning on a car or auto loan, or cosigning on a credit card will all bear the same weight on your credit report or score.
