Terry Says:  I’m not sure what kind of student loan you signed for — but the fact that you co-signed means you are liable if she doesn’t pay.  If she dropped out of school, she might have been obligated to start making payments.  The fact that she didn’t has hurt your credit.  You need to sit down with your daughter and a student loan counselor at her school and find out where you stand, what she owes — and what you are obligated to pay on her behalf.
