My sister wanted to by a house but could not get financed..she offered me a great place to live and only 25% responsible provided that i co-signed. Within the first month, she kicked me out. I declined unless my name was cleared..The wonderful sister that she is came to a quick claim resolution. I had know idea what is was and signed...she works in the mortgage field so I thought it was a great "loop-hole". Now i am out of a house (no ownership and responsible for the loan. She has been late 3 times since. It hasn't reached past the 30-day mark but I fear it will hit my credit very soon considering it's has only been 7 months since the closing on house. Any advise? What are my options besides being screwed? I do not want the house, I simply do not want to be responsible for the loan.
Signed,
NEVER TRUST FAMILY

Hi,

I think your credit profile will get affected as you are the co-signer and you are responsible for paying the loan if your sister doesn't. But that does not mean she can get away by doing anything she feels.

You should talk to her about the late payments. Also explain your situation to the lender. He is the person who can stop the late payments from getting recorded in your credit report providxed he understands and sympathise with you.

Thanks,

Sara.
