How do you get the car if you are the cosigner and making the payments?

As the cosigner on the contract, you are an equal owner of the vehicle. You cannot steal your own property. But, if you choose to simply go and pick up the vehicle, contact local law enforcement to let them know your intent and the reason so that when the party who currently has possession of the vehicle comes out to their empty driveway, LEOs know the vehicle was not stolen.
You might be required to get a notice or order from your local court, possibly a writ of repossession. Contact the clerk's office of your local jurisdiction and ask; they will likely be happy to help you with this info.
Your other option, if you do not want the vehicle, is to contact the finance company and discuss possible voluntary repossession. You may need to seek legal assistance to have your name removed from the contract, and be prepared to show/prove you made the payments and the other party did not.

Can someone garnish a cosigner for a car and garnish the primary also?
In the State of Texas, the answer would be "YES" as both parties signed for the car loan and both are responsible for the balance due. I was the primary signor but the cosigner had the car and was making the payments. Then she stopped making payments after owning the car for 3 years and the car was repossessed.
Your name is the first name after the leasing company on the title your cosigner is trying to take your car you've made all your payments on time can they force you to give up your car?
I had this very same instance come up and the police were called. They told me that as long as the payments were being made and you have proof of you making the payments on time, the cosigner has to leg to stand on when trying to take the car. So NO your cosigner can not take the car.
Does the lender on a car loan have to notify the cosigner before they repossess the car in TN?

Im a primary borrower on a loan n i had2 have a cosigner to get my car. i have made several payments on my carnthe cosigner had told me tht he had the car sold hes now got the not makein payments?
Something is not right here. If you are the primary, then why is the cosigner making payments and why does the cosigner have possession of the vehicle? The is back-wards of what it should be. And why in the world would you put the cosigners name on the title? You have a mess on your hands, because you went about this all wrong. You need to contact a lawyer ASAP.

How can the cosigner of a car immediately have possession of it after it was repossessed by the bank?
When you cosign for anyone you are taking 100% responsibility for the payments on that car. If the person that gets the car doesn't keep their payments up it will be repossessed by the bank with an option for the cosigner to take over payments or sell the car and pay back the loan. Marcy

The co-signor will have to make arrangements with the LENDER unless the co-signor is listed on the TITLE. In that case, go get the car.
What can a cosigner do after a car is repossessed Can they sue the primary signer?
Seems pointless to even consider. If the primary signer didn't have enough funds to make the car payments, they probably will not have enough funds to pay any lawsuit you charge them with. Fact is, if the primary signer defaulted on payments, then the cosigner would be responsible for making them - If repossession occured, then it was due to the fault of the cosigner .. can't sue yourself.
