Co-signer

A co-signer, or cosigner, is one who agrees to take responsibility for a debt if the borrower defaults. A loan applicant who does not qualify for a loan may be able to obtain financing anyway if he can convince a family member to be a cosigner. The presence of a qualified cosigner makes the loan significantly more attractive to the lender.
