Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois
Co-signed a loan
Is there any way to get out of
a loan that I co-signed?
The party I co-signed for is not paying the loan in a timely fashion. I am concerned
about my credit rating. Can anything be done?

Re: Co-signed a loan
Unfortunately, when you co-sign for a loan, you are fully obligated to repay the loan. Otherwise, there would not really be any point in having a co-signer from the lender's perspective.
