- The borrower on the loan I co-signed isn't making payments. Am I going to be affected?
-
Yes. If the loan becomes delinquent both you and the borrower may face consequences. Delinquency can result in both you and the borrower being negatively reported to consumer reporting agencies. This is why it is important that you stay up to date on the status of your loan.
- Neither I nor the borrower can afford to make payments right now. What should we do?
-
The borrower may be able to make a request to temporarily postpone making payments under certain circumstances. If the borrower applies for a forbearance or deferment, you may have to apply as well, depending on the terms of promissory note/credit agreement, determined by your lender. If you are unsure of your lender's requirements, contact us for details.
NOTE: Using forbearance may affect your eligibility for co-signer release, depending on your lender.
