No, you can only be liable for the loan. If the car was totaled and did not have insurance then you can be held responsible for the balance on the loan. Any accident or damages that occurred would be the responsibility of the driver/owner of the vehicle. All your signature did was say that you will pay the loan if the borrower fails to do so.
You shouldn't be but you should seek legal counselling to be sure.
Well, you'll be liable for the loan, but that's about it, unless you had something to to with the so-called "accident" (which is rarely accidental, and more often the result of negligence).
That depends on what you're asking. Who filed bankruptcy? The owner of the car or the owner (holder) of the car loan? Did you co-sign on the loan? If you co-signed on the loan and the other signer files for bankruptcy, yes you are liable for the loan. If the owner (holder) of the car loan files for bankruptcy, you are still liable to the owner's creditors (and you need to find out who they are so you can get the lien released).
In general, one cannot get an auto loan without a driver's license (that loan will have been acquired fraudulently according to most auto loan contracts). A person can, however, co-sign someone else's loan without having posession of a driver's license.
Yes, I've done it.
Yes. It depends on their credit history and willingness to co-sign and take responsibility for your loan.
I need help with my auto loan sign in.
If they reside in the USA, yes. If they live in Canada, no.
The short answer is yes, if you want to keep the car. Otherwise the loan will go into default and it will be repossessed. If you did not sign for the loan, it will not affect your credit.
If you co-signed the loan, yes, you will be personally responsible for the unpaid amount. if you did not co-sign the loan, your husband's ESTATE may be liable for the loan payoff. Talk to an attorney or the Probate Court for further information.
If you did not sign the document, and did not authorize anyone to sign for you, you should be able to get out of the contract. Someone, probably the person that asked you to co-sign, or the salesman for the vehicle, has committed fraud.
