If person A cosigns any type of loan for person B, when the credit report of person A is pulled, will the report show that person A has cosigned?

In most every scenario, the answer is yes.. There might be a lender out there who does not show the credit obligation on the cosigners credit report, but this would be in very rare circumstances. Understand that when you cosign for someone, you are putting your name and credit on the line by making a commitment that if the primary borrower does not pay, then you will. If a payment is late or not made, then both borrower and cosigner are notified.. and it's both your responsibility to make sure the payment is made.. additionally, if the cosigner wishes to obtain a mortgage after cosigning, then they will need to wait until the borrower makes 12 monthly on time payments from their own account (not a joint account with you).. in order to remove the cosigned mortgage from your debt to income ratio.

Absolutely! They will be obligated on the loan the same as person B is. However, if person B pays that loan on time for 12 months and can document it, the financial obligation may not be considered in person A's debt ratios. If person B makes any late payments on the loan, it will show on person A's credit report and impact their score. That is why it is so important to carefully consider before cosigning for someone and to monitor that they are paying the loan on time every month.
