Hub You - The Truth About Cosigning Loans
Recently we concluded the placement of a Senior Sales Representative for a publicly traded company. The role was ripe with potential as the company products were being widely embraced by current and new customers. The recruiting process went smoothly as the candidate progressed through several rounds of face to face interviews with company executives.At the conclusion of the
It’s finally time to sit up and take notice of India!! Culturally the most diverse country, India is stepping up the tempo for the world stage. Its tremendous market potential can be gauged by the steady annual growth rate of 5-6 percent.It is emerging as a country of strategic importance in South Asia. As a founder member of GATT and subsequently WTO, India enjoys the MFN s
Truth: Be ready to repay the loan. The bank wants a cosigner for a reason - they don't expect the friend or relative to pay.
Think with me for a moment. If debt is the most aggressively marketed product in our culture today, if lenders must meet sales quotas for "loan production," if lenders can project the likelihood of a loan going into default with unbelievable accuracy - if all these things are true and the lending industry has denied your friend or relative a loan, there is little doubt the potential borrower is trouble just looking for a place to happen. Yet people across America make the very unwise (yes, dumb) decision to cosign for someone else every day.
The lender requires a cosigner because there is a very high statistical chance that the applicant won't pay. So why do we appoint ourselves as the generous, all-knowing, benevolent helper to override the judgment of an industry that is foaming at the month to lend money, and yet has deemed your friend or relative a deadbeat looking for a place to fail, or at least a loan default looking for a new home? Why do we cosign knowing full well the inherent problems?
We enter this ridiculous situation only on emotion. Intellect could not take us on this ride. We "know" they will pay because we "know" them. Wrong. Parents cosign for a young couple to buy a home. Why do they need a cosigner? Because they couldn't afford the home! Parents cosign for a teenager to buy a car. Why would parents do this? "So he can learn to be responsible." No, what the teenager has learned is: if you can't pay for something, buy it anyway.
The sad thing is that those of us who have cosigned loans know how they end up. We end up paying them but only after our credit is damaged or ruined. If you cosign for a car, the lender will not contact you when the loan is paid late every month, but your credit is damaged every month. The lender will not contact you before they repossess the car, but you now have a repo on your credit report. They will contact you to pay the difference between the debt and the below-wholesale repo price they got for the car, which is called a deficit. If the lender did contact you, there is nothing you can legally do to force the sale of the car, because you don't own it; you are merely on the hook for the debt. When you cosign on a house you will get the same results.
Without money, running a business is as impossible as planting a tree without water. Capital is the livelihood for all business. At the same time, shortage of cash is also a truth that any businessman can face. Remember, there is a silver lining behind every cloud. If your business meets the hindrance of cash crisis, take the advantage of your property and avail secured business lo

In a nation full of superstars one has to wonder why we fail so often as a team. The Olympic Team did not fail because of the number of gold medals won or lost. The Olympic Team failed because they were anything but a team.The amazing athletes that represented the United States in the Olympic Games should be both honored and respected. These same Olympians, however, shoul

If you are like many men and women in the 21st century, you may have found yourself literally drowning in debt. As a result, you may have made the touch decision to file for bankruptcy.

According to Proverbs 17:18, "It's stupid to guarantee someone else's loan" (CEV). That pretty well sums it up. Just like trying to bless a loved one with a loan, many people are trying to help by cosigning, and the result is damaged credit and damaged or destroyed relationships. I have cosigned loans and ended up paying them. One poor guy cosigned for me, and he ended up paying when I went broke. If you truly want to help someone, give money. If you don't have it, then don't sign up to pay it - because you likely will.
