Author: My parents and I were having that long needed vacation away from the hassle and bustle of city life when out of the blue, my sister, who was filling in for me at home, called. I found myself in a financial dilemma and needed fast cash to pay a debt not entirely mine.
Many years ago, my cousin, a doctor, was applying for a house loan and needed a co-maker. He had a good job and payback was more than anybody can ever imagine. I agreed and signed the papers. He and his wife got the house they always dreamed of. But after five years and an accident that left him temporarily paralyzed, I never occurred to me that as co-maker of the loan, I was obligated to pay the loan. After my lawyer explained what being a co-maker meant, I knew I was in trouble. My wife works for a company that has affiliations with cash loans lenders and she helped get the fast cash my cousin needed to keep his home. After months of physical therapy, the doctor was back in action: private practice. In no time he was able to pay us back and update his loan.
