This story seems pretty nuts to me...my girlfriend has her uncle as a co-signer on her student loan...she missed one payment, by several days...and apparently the loan people never called her and contacted her uncle...i thought this was a bit severe for such a minor delinquency. She paid it though but her uncle is upset...so i'm asking, what sort of credit impact could her uncle expect from this?


Well, its normal for the creditor to contact the co-signer for the loan payment even without contacting the debtor first.

It may depend on how late she was on the payment. If it is only one missing payment and has been paid off, the impact can be minor.

I know from my experiences they will call the co-signer before it goes past 30 days sometimes with a "courtesy" call, pretty much to get the co-signer to either get on your ass or for them to get ready to pay it. Its not a bad jester, just sucks when it happens.
