Yes. Even though you are the co-signer and legally resonsible, he is primarilly responsible and can be sued by you. If you would like to discuss this further, please call my office.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Other than having a man to man talk, there is not much you can do unless you are willing to take legal action against him. If so, you can file suit against your son for damages in order to reimburse you for any monies paid to the lender. The question is whether or not you are ready to truly damage your son's credit history? If not, then there is not much you can do.
