I’m so sorry to hear that this is happening to you! If your friend does force you to make loan payments as the cosigner, you can take her to court after the fact to recover any money that you spend on her loan. However, you will still have to pay the loan payment in the meantime to avoid financial repercussions.
Once things have calmed down a bit between the two of you, you can ask your friend to be removed from the loan as her cosigner by refinancing the loan. That way, you won’t be financially responsible for her anymore.
While you will usually need the primary borrower to refinance the loan in order to remove yourself, some lenders will allow you to ask to be removed after a certain length of time. To see if this is a possibility for you, check your loan contract.
