What are your rights as a co signer on a truck loan?

You have the right to decide not to co-sign the loan. Once you have signed, you have the right to make payments if the primary borrower defaults so that the default doesn't ruin your own credit record. More important are your obligations as a co-signer. You are fully responsible for paying the loan in full if the primary borrower doesn't pay. That is your role as the co-signer. You guarantee the loan will be repaid for property you don't own

Vehicle loans are a complicated problem. People with bad credit often allow their insurance to lapse. They have an accident and wreck the vehicle and there is no insurance to cover the repairs. They stop making their loan payments and the co-signer is left with the legal obligation of paying off the loan for a wrecked vehicle.

Co-signers should think this through before they sign.
