Before you co-sign any loan, try to find out from the lender why a co-signer is re- quired. You may learn some- thing that will help you make your decision. If you decide to co-sign, ask the lender to keep you in- formed of all activity on the account. This is in your best interest, since by co-signing you assume equal responsibil- ity for the debt. If payments aren’t kept up, the lender can take the same legal action against you as he can against the borrower.
