Cosigner

Cosigner

A cosigner, or co-signer, is one who agrees to take responsibility for a debt if the borrower defaults. A loan applicant who doesn't 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.
