Im confused about the terms “Co-borrower” and “Cosigner”. Whats the difference?
A Co-borrower is an additional Borrower whose income contributes to qualifying for the loan and who, along with the Borrower, is jointly and primarily responsible for repaying the debt. Co-borrowers are responsible for the entire amount of the loan, regardless of their obligation to the original, underlying loans that are being consolidated.
