It sounds entirely reasonable that you would pay them back for the remaining amount of the loan and for the needed repairs. I assume that the co-signer was trying to get the loan off of his credit and that perhaps you were not paying regularly or on time. There may be other circumstances that are not addressed here.
Nothing. The only option for being remove as a cosigner is to have the original loan refinanced without the cosigner participating.
The only way to take a cosigner off of a loan is to refinance it.
You don't need a license to get a loan. Your credit rating will determine whether you need a cosigner or not.
The usual legal recourse for the cosigner when the person named as the primary on a loan has defaulted, is to make the payments on the loan. Then, the cosigner can take the person who defaulted to court to try and recoup some of the money they are out. If the loan was for a car, some states allow the cosigner to take possession of the car and sell it to recoup losses also.
A cosigner cannot be removed from the debt obligation except by a refinancing of the loan without the original cosigner's participation.
ONLY if you are listed on the TITLE as co-owner. Othwise you have NO rights to possession, ONLY payment of the loan.
No. The cosigner will still be equally responsible for the debt
if you take it to your personal bank and ask them how much you need to have paid already they can indeed refinace you and remove the cosigner
Yes.
If you owe money on a car loan or are a cosigner for a car loan, yes.
Yes. You need to discuss this with the lender.
