My 80 yr old dad co-signed about $50k of student loans for my niece. She graduated and got a job but says she can't repay. My parents get soc security and have some retirement income from my dad's job. they no way have or will have the money to repay this loan if my niece defaults. What happens?

"My sister asked me to co-sign for my niece to go to school. The original note was for $5K. I agreed but never received any paperwork. She said she did it electronically. Well they are late on payments and I have received a bill that shows the loan was for $8k. I never signed anything, what can I do?"
Soap Lady....I say the above post and didn't see that anyone responded. Is the co-signor above responsible for this loan considering he never signed the promisory note?

Wouldn't he have to press Identity Theft charges on the person? That's a felony.

Just curious...would it be Identity theft? I mean he was aware of it just not the correct amount?

If the prom note was e-signed without the posters knowledge or express consent, it would be forgery.

I read some post, stating that if loans are consolidated with another company, than the co-signer is released from original loans, is this true?
It will be a bit of relief, because my father keeps complaining about constant harresmant he gets everyday by AES and SallieMae. By the way its for private loans, and I don't mind going into default after consolidation, I just want to remove my co-signer from my original loans, so nobody else gets hurt before the default starts...

Gettting a consolidation loan for private loans is almost next to impossible ...very few lenders remain to consolidate these types of loans.
If you are getting calls everyday, that would tell me that you are behind which probably would rule you out without a cosignor.
Please do not call it harrassment...your father took on a legal liability when he cosigned for you....he is just as responsible for the loan as you are.
