5. Contingent Liability on Cosigned Obligations.
a. Contingent liability applies, and the debt must be included in the underwriting analysis, if an individual applying for a mortgage is a cosigner/co-obligor on:
i. A car loan;
ii. A student loan;
iii. A mortgage; or
iv. Any other obligation.
b. If the creditor obtains documented proof that the primary obligor has been making regular payments during the previous 12 months, and does not have a history of delinquent payments on the loan during that time, the payment does not have to be included in the consumer's monthly obligations.
