Article Body:
In my opinion, if you co-sign a loan with a family member or a friend, you're looking for trouble. Granted, if you want to help your child buy his first car, you may need to co-sign because the child does not have credit history yet. The danger is that if your son makes a late payment, the bank will come to you to pay it off. Be extremely judicious who you co-sign for. Because of the risk that another person could damage my credit, I will never co-sign for a friend or family.
