If the co signers credit is going to be affected because of the lack of payments from the payee, and if the co signer is paying for the payments, then yes the car can be given over to the co signer, especially if the payee is not paying for the car that was agreed upon. check with the finance companies, and your local state, county laws.

Can a person in Texas repossess a car if she is making payments but is not on the car title and feels that she has already paid enough into the car?
Sure, you just lose the car.
What are the rights of a cosigner?
A cosigner is a person who signs with another person for a loan of some sort due to credit issues or financial reasons. A cosigner unfortunately does not have as many rights as the person who is first listed on a loan. For example, if you purchase a car and your boyfriend/girlfriend cosigns for you and you two break up, they cannot take the car away from you. However, if you are late on payments, the cosigner will then be responsible for the payments.
If a person co-signed for another's car will the co-signer be taken if they file for bankruptcy?
Yes! The whole point of cosigning a loan, from the lender's perspective, is that they have 2 people on the hook for the loan in the event it goes sour. If the person stops making payments (bankruptcy or not), they will come after the cosigner, making the cosigner wish he/she had never, ever cosigned.
How does the cosigner get the car if the person driving it is not making the monthly payments?
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.
Can a cosigner repossess the car?
No, only the lien holder of the car can repossess it. If the primary on the account can't make the payments, the co-signer becomes leggaly responsible for the debt. No. You have to go through the legal processes and sue for the car. If the primary owner of the car is not making payments and you can prove to the court that you have made the majority of the payments, then you may be able to get the car. You should never co-sign in the future, too much is at stake when you do. If your name is the only name on the registration, then you can take the car from the primary owner - call it in stolen if they refuse to give it up. Technically, the owner is the person on the registration - no matter who pays for the car.
Can a co signer sue the person who defaulted on the loan for the amount of the loan in question since the car was reposessed and that person is working and more than capable of making the payments?
Not likely. If you cosign then you are saying "I trust my credit in this person's hands." If the signer does not pay then it is the responsibility of the cosigner to take care of the payments.
When cosigning for a car and the person who is acquiring the car is the only one making payments whose name is the ownership of the car under?
the person making the payments is actually buying the car. it is illogical that a cosigner could claim any ownership rights, having paid nothing. the person having made the payments is the owner It depends on the title. If it is only your name then it is your's. If it is both names, then it belongs to both of you regardless of who pays.
How can you get out of cosigner even through you already cosigned?
Pay the loan off and then collect payments from the person you cosigned for.
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
Do you have a right to take a car away if you are the cosigner?
Well if the original person that you co-signed with defaults on the payments and you are stuck with the payments, technically it is your vehicle and you can take the person to court and take control of the vehicle.
What legal recourse is there for the cosigner when the person that was cosigned for has defaulted on the loan?
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.
