NOTICE TO COSIGNER (Traducción en Ingles Se Requiere Por La Ley)
You are being asked to guarantee this debt. Think carefully before you do. If the borrower doesn’t pay the debt, you will have to. Be
sure you can afford to pay if you have to, and that you want to accept this responsibility.
You may have to pay up to the full amount of the debt if the borrower does not pay. You may also have to pay collection costs,
which increase this amount.
The creditor can collect this debt from you without first trying to collect from the borrower. The creditor can use the same collection
methods against you that can be used against the borrower, such as suing you, garnishing your wages, etc. If this debt is ever in
default, that fact may become a part of your credit record.
This notice is not the contract that makes you liable for the debt.
AVISO PARA EL FIADOR (Spanish Translation Required By Law)
Se le esta pidiendo que garantice esta deuda. Píenselo con cuidado antes de ponerse de acuerdo. Si la persona que ha pedido
este préstamo no paga la deuda, usted tendrá que pagarla. Esté seguro de que usted podrá pagar si sea obligado a pagarla y de
que usted desea aceptar la responsabilidad.
Si la persona que ha pedido el préstamo no paga la deuda, es posible que usted tenga que pagar la suma total de la deuda, mas
el costo de cobranza, lo cual aumenta el total de esta suma.
El acreedor (financiero) puede cobrarle a usted sin, primeramente, tratar de cobrarle al deudor. Los mismos métodos de cobranza
que pueden usarse contra el deudor, podrán usarse contra usted, tales como presentar una demanda en corte, quitar parte de su
sueldo, etc. Si alguna vez no se cumpla con la obligación de pagar esta deuda, se puede incluir esa información en la historia de
crédito de usted.
Este aviso no es el contrato mismo en que se le echa a usted la responsabilidad de la deuda.
SPECIAL NOTICE FOR RESIDENTS OF GEORGIA

SPECIAL NOTICE FOR RESIDENTS OF IOWA, NEW YORK AND SOUTH CAROLINA
You agree to pay the debt identified below although you may not personally receive any property, services, or money. You may be
sued for payment although the person who receives the property, services, or money is able to pay. You should know that the Total of
Payments listed below does not include finance charges resulting from delinquency, late charges, repossession or foreclosure costs,
court costs or attorney’s fees, or other charges that may be stated in the note or contract. You will also have to pay some or all of
these costs and charges if the note or contract, the payment of which you are guaranteeing, requires the borrower to pay such costs
and charges. If this debt is ever in default, that fact may become a part of your credit record. This notice is not the note, contract, or
other writing that obligates you to pay that debt. Read that writing for the exact terms of your obligation.
