The loan must be paid off or refinanced in the name of the primary borrower alone.

A cosigner is equally obligated for the debt until the loan is paid or refinanced in the name of the primary borrower. The co-signer can't easily be removed from the debt. The reason you have a cosigner in the first place is because the primary borrower may not have had a sufficient credit rating or prior loan payment history. If the loan balance can't be paid off, the only option is for the loan to be refinanced without the co-signer.

The primary borrower must be willing and qualified to refinance. You must discuss it with the lender. If the primary borrower's credit rating has improved since they took out the loan, the lender may give them a new loan to pay off the old one. Absent the primary borrower being able to get a loan on his/her own a co-signer can be removed only if the lender is willing to let you off the hook. That's not common, and why should they?

Typically a parent will co-sign for a child with no credit history, a business owner will co-sign as an individual for his business, or, a partner or parent who is not on the deed will co-sign a mortgage. If you co-sign a loan for another party and they default on the loan, you are responsible for paying the loan. You guaranteed it.
