- I believe it'll effect her credit, I don't know by how much though.
- Yes - your Mom's credit will be affected by this. A co-signer means she is legally responsible for the debt if you don't pay it.
- If your mother nor you,,,,, have been making the payments on this debt, then YES, your mother's credit is bad. ( A question is How BAd has this made your mother's credit...which noone on yahoo! answers can really tell you) When someone co signs a loan for you, and you don't pay, the lender (bank) looks to the co signer to pay. If the co signer doesn't pay, the co signers credit gets BAD because of it. The Lesson to be Learned: For the REst of your Life, Do not EVER co-sign a loan for ANYONE !!!!!
- of course it affected her credit because she co-sign
- wow ruining your life at 17 and hurting your mom !!!!!
- Checking accounts have nothing to do with your credit. Only delinquent loans can damage your credit. Negative checking balances are only reported to Check Systems. This can also be harmful, if you ever plan on opening a checking account elsewhere.
