    You are jointly and severally liable for the loan irrespective of who is first or second name on the documentation. This means that if one party cannot pay, then the other party must make the full loan repayment.

    If you let the thing go into arrears, both of your credit ratings will suffer badly.

    What's the amount owing and monthly payments?
