Co-signed for cell phone,owner didnt pay phone bill....

[RW2]

Hi,Im from British Columbia, Canada

My question is,

I co-signed for a cell phone 4 years ago,and the person I co signed for ran up a $4000.00 cell phone bill,and has not attempted to pay it off.The person I co signed for is an American citizen who has been living in Canada for 5 years without a Canadian citizenship.Ive had collections aggencys after me wanting to know where the money is.The person I signed for was offerd a deal by the collections aggency to pay $2,100 flat out and have the bill paid for...but he did not attempt to persue that offer.I have no credit thanks to this situation.What are my legal options?


thanks for your time a knowledge.

Pay the bill and do not ever co-sign again.
