Hello everybody,

I took a loan that on me and my friend. It says that I'm the borrower and my friend is the co-borrower. So my question is, does this make any difference how our credit scores grow ? Like does mine grow faster because I'm the borrower and hes only co-borrower ?

    Assuming in the UK, you're jointly and severably liable for the debt, meaning that it will have the same effect on both of you.

    If you're in the US (as I suspect), then I have absolutely no idea, as this is a UK site.
