It is not a good idea. If that person does not make any payments then you are on the hook. The ownership can not be changed anyway, because it is listed as security under a registry.
yes. When a vehicle is repossessed by the bank it doesn't mean that you stop making payments. You are still liable for the loan.
No. You are not entitled to a refund if you made payments toward the purchase of a vehicle. In truth, if you signed a contract to purchase the vehicle, that vehicle is now secondary to the contract, you could still be held responsible for the balance of the loan, whether or not you still have the vehicle.
I want to purchase a new vehicle. The vehicle I currently have I was awarded by a judge in divorce court, however the vehicle is not in my name. Can I trade this vehicle with my ex's permission to sign off and put it towards my new vehicle that will be in my name? I make the payments and still owe money on it.
Most states do not have a cooling off period. Witch means that if you buy a car and then change your mind you are still responsible for making the payments. If you fail to make the payments your vehicle will be repossessed and sold to satisfy the lean holder. So no you will not get your money back, in fact you may have to make up the difference if the car sells for less than the loan amount.
Late payments will be deducted from trade-in value
if you owe them money they generally will not release your vehicle to you in the first place
You need to make those payments directly to the creditor or the late payments will be reflected as your own debt on your credit record. Thats what you contracted to do when you decided to be the co-signer. You should never hand over cash to pay loan payments to a person who is already defaulting on those payments. You may want to consult with an attorney about taking possession of the vehicle through a civil process.
Normally, unless it is a sort of pawnshop or personal type of loan, you the borrower hold the collateral. For example, if you get a loan on a vehicle, you have possession of the vehicle as long as you are making payments as agreed. If you stop making the payments, the one to whom you owe the money (the lien holder) can take possession of the vehicle, sell it, and you would be responsible to pay the difference between what it is sold for and the amount you still owe, if there is a difference.
IF you transfer the title and loan out of your name you are not responsible. IF NOT, and they don't make the payments, or have insurance on it, YOU are responsible for all aspects of the vehicle as you still OWN it. the name on the title & loan is the responsible party.
Once the loan is in default the bank has the right to refuse payment and repossess the vehicle.
Only if they actually took the charge off.
Making Payments After Returning a CarNo, you do not have to make payments HOWEVER.....once they sell the car you still owe the left over balance. Just because you don't have the car anymore DOSEN'T mean you didn't borrow the money #2No you do not have to make payments after returning a car as long as you are ok with having a repossesion on your credit history and as long as your ok with the finance company filing a judgment against you for the amount left owed after the sale of the returned vehicle.
