Just curious, is there such a thing as a co-signer on a credit card? like there are co-signers on car loans and mortages?

Don't go joint on a CC, though. There's a world of hurt waiting out there if you do.
Mortgages should be the only jointly held credit, as homes are protected in case of BK.
Primary transportation (auto) is exempt as well, unless filing on the loan. At least in TX.
FL BK exemptions can be viewed here:

Auto provision not so generous as TX I think.
My student loans have been paid timely and in full..but AFTER they went to collections. As a result, my credit is ruined. At 33 years old, am I eligible to have a cosigner on a credit card? Which ones accect applicants OVER age 21? Will that establish credit for me? Or only affect the cosigner??

This is the teen-celebrity clause so Justin Bieber can still get a Centurion
EDIT: Holy thread bump

Only requirement to get a credit card under 21 (I am still under 21 and have more than 6 lines of credit), is that you can pay for it. (Maybe you have a job, or maybe you have a bunch of money saved up)
Which makes me wonder why credit cards are (or were ever) offered to anyone who doesn't have any means of paying it off...
