I c0-signed a provate student loan and the primary defaulted. I had to pay the loan in full , which was a very large amount of money.

Answered 10 years and 3 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer

Yes, you can sue the primary debtor for the damages you incurred due to his/her default, but the real question is, having defaulted on a student loan, does that person have the financial wherewithal to pay any judgment?

In Idaho does a lien stay on property forever or is their a set time when it will fall off?

I don't know the law in Idaho, but in New  York it depends on what type of lien.  Examples of types of liens are mortgage liens, mechanic's liens, and lis pendens, each of which "stays on" for a different period of time.
