Think about it, the car was NOT in their possession, so how can they report it stolen? They cant. Its a CIVIL matter NOT criminal.
I am not sure it is possible but my only suggestion is to call your local Police Department and find out
Not if you are responsible for all of the loans or credit card payments on your credit report. But, if the second card holder is responsible for any payments on your cards, and doesn't make them, then it can cause your score to lower.
Of course not. The car has not been stolen. But guess who is going to have to make the payments if the primary lender does not. You the cosigner, that's who. I would suggest you talk to the person you cosigned the loan for. If I were going to have to make the payments I would for sure try to gain possession of the vehicle. This is the very reason cosigning is a bad idea.
You absolutely can trade in your vehicle even if you are behind on your payments. When you trade a vehicle in the dealership you are purchasing from pays off your previous loan in full, so being behind on your payments will not affect anything other than the total amount due on your car. Of course when the new dealership runs your credit report it will probably reflect that you are currently behind and will also show how many months you are behind.
yes it will, as a co-signer you are held just as responsible as the primary loan holder and it will appear on your credit report no matter if the payments are made on time or if they are late.
The creditor doesn't pay any attention to where the money is coming from, just that the money is coming in. So in other words, no. As long as the payments are on time, the report will be good.
yes
So, if I'm getting this right, the car is yours..pink slip and all. You call the police and report it stolen. Document all of the times you have tried to get it back, and have dates and times.
Utility payments
In order to report information to the credit bureaus, a company or individual would have to become a contributing client of the bureaus. There is an expense involved and there are also federal statutes which must be followed. So, for the most part, private individuals do not report to the major credit reporting agencies.
Your landlord would have to report payments to the credit bureau.
If they come to repossess it, and you claim to not know where it is, then the repossession agent will report it stolen. At that point, anyone found in possession of it is in possession of a stolen vehicle.
