Can I make payments on someone else's car loan?
My friend is having tough times financially. I'm not co-signed on his car loan, but paying for his loan for a little while won’t hurt my finances. Can I do this?

Sorry to hear about your friend—but it’s great to hear that you’re willing to help him pay for his
car loan
. You can definitely make the payments to the car loan: the lender doesn’t care who makes them as long as they are completed on time. If you trust your friend, you could give him the money to pay in his name. Depending on his circumstances, though, it may be more efficient for you to pay the lender yourself.
If your friend needs to find an additional way to save money, consider talking to him about finding a cheaper
car insurance
policy. Jerry
can help him compare quotes from the nation’s top providers and switch without a hassle. View full answer
