The only way to be released as a co-signer is to have the primary borrower refinance the loan in their name only or with a different co-signer if one is required Answer Absent primary borrower being able to get the/a loan on his/her own and pay you off, only if the lender is willing to let you off the hook. Not common, and why should they? Your probably better off working with the primary to get as much out of the asset now, (sell it for value, not have it repo'd and sold for little value), and avoid having late fees, interest, repo and legal costs, etc.Added to the loan amount.
(They will be). The lender may well work with you to mitigate any loss and make things happen. You were a cosigner as a responsible party.....BE RESPONSIBLE.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
