All banks will certainly come after you if you have cosigned any loan. Co-signing any loan is dangerous because you risk your credit, money, and relationship with the borrower in a single transaction. There are several steps the bank has to take before they can garnish your wages. You should consult with an attorney on ways to reduce your financial exposure.
