Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Wisconsin
Rights of a Cosigner
I was a cosigner on a student loan which was defaulted
on and I ended up paying. Do I have the right in
Wisconsin to take the person who took the loan out to
court in order to recover my loss?

Hello,
Yes you should have a remedy against the party that defaulted. Depending on the amount you may be in small claims court or regular court. You should see a lawyer to see what your options are.
Best wishes, Mark J. Mahoney
