Does a Repossession Affect My Cosigner’s Credit Too?

Introduction

Yes — because a co-signer shares equal responsibility for the lease, a repossession affects their credit right alongside yours. Since Solutions Auto Group reports monthly to TransUnion for the account as a whole, both people’s credit history reflects how the account is handled, good or bad.

Why This Is a Shared Outcome, Not Just Yours

When someone co-signs, they’re not just helping you get approved — they’re agreeing to be equally on the hook for the account. That means on-time payments can help both of you, but a missed payment or repossession affects both of you too. It’s exactly why an honest conversation with your co-signer matters before a payment ever gets missed, not after.

What to Do if You’re Worried About This Together

If you and your co-signer are both worried about where the account stands, the smartest move is calling your account manager together, or at least making sure you’re both in the loop on the conversation. Communication protects both of your credit reports, not just one.
