Can a cosigner sue the primary borrower?
Anyone is allowed to sue anyone in this day and age, however, the point of having a co-signer is because the primary borrower may not have a credit profile strong enough to get a loan on their own. When suing someone, the goal is to get paid - if the primary borrower did not have enough money or enough credit strength to get a loan, what, exactly, will the co-signer sue them to get? So yes, a co-signer may sue the primary borrower, however, unless circumstances have changed massively since the shared loan was signed, there will be nothing for the co-signer to go after. Depending on the amount of the loan you can sue in small claims court or a higher civil court.

What can a 70-year-old cosigner on a car loan be held responsible for if the loan is found in default?
The cosigner has the same legal obligations to repay the debt as does the primary borrower. If the primary borrower defaults, the lender can begin proceedings to collect the full amount owed plus applicable fees from the cosigner. A cosigner can be sued just as can the primary borrower. And if the primary borrower claims bankrutpcy, the cosigner will still get "stuck" with the debt. The credit report of the cosigner will be equally affected, either in a positive or negative way, depending upon the circumstances.
Can a cosigner sue the primary for the full amount of loan when the cosigner pays it off?
A cosigner can only sue if the primary borrower signed an agreement for the cosigner to pay the debt and then be reimbursed. The consignor can not sue if they, at their own liberty, decided to just pay the debt.
If the cosigner decides to pay off the loan to clear their property used for collateral can they put a judgment on the primary loan holder to collect the amount paid off?

If a child defaults on a student loan co-signed by a parent can the parent sue the child to recover the amount they are forced to pay?
No, when the parent cosigned the loan, they agreed to pay what the child couldn't. * Yes, the contract that was cosigned was between the borrower's and the lender. A cosigner has the legal right to file suit against a primary borrower for financial damages incurred due to the primary borrower defaulting on the contract.
Can a cosigner take possession of a car if the primary signer is not paying the payments?
Yes. I believe the loaner will contact you with a past due amount, or send you a bill. If this hasn't happened yet, contact the loaner and tell them you want possesion if the car is not being paid for by the buyer. * No. A cosigner has no legal right to a vehicle unless his or her name appears on the title. The cosigner will have to make the payments to keep the vehicle from being reposssesed or have the vehicle refinanced in his or her name with the primary borrower being released from the current agreement, this can only be done if the lender agrees.
