Best Answer

No. You signed a contract that guaranteed you would pay off the loan if the primary borrower defaults. You would have trouble finding legitimate grounds for filing a suit to remove your name unless there was fraud. You can sue the primary borrower for not paying and you may win a judgment. Get legal advice, but if payments have not been made, you may be able to return the car to the dealer yourself and put an end to the loan.

How soon can you remove your name as a cosign for a house?

As soon as the loan is paid off. The only way for a cosigner to "remove his name" is to pay off the loan. Since refinancing pays off the original loan (and creates a new one), this would provide an opportunity for the co-signer to opt not to co-sign the new loan.
