  • Joint credit
    When a couple asks for a loan based on joint credit, both their assets and incomes and both their credit reports are weighed by the lender. It can result in a higher amount being available, but puts both parties on the hook for repaying the debt.
  • Joint liability
    With joint credit comes joint responsibility: With joint liability, both parties to the loan must repay a debt.
