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.
yes
No. It doesn't come off until the loan is paid and if the person who is getting the loan doesn't pay you will owe for the loan. When you cosign it also goes on your credit report.
Depending on the state you must at least cosign.
You can cosign but both names will be on title.
I am dealing with my own drama in a cosign arrangement. I have found that the only way to get your name off of the loan is to have her get a new loan through refinance.
I assume you mean how do you get your name off the car LOAN! The only ways to do that would be to either pay off the loan or have your mom refinance it under just her name (or get someone else to cosign THAT loan)
Cosigning for a loan is dangerous to do. A true business loan should be under a business name itself, a personal guantee may be required in some situations. To build business credit search for a mentoring service online.
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.
Probably not; see a lawyer to be sure.
Frank, that will be up to the LENDER. If you approach them right it might be possible. It will help if the debtor has NOT messed up their credit in the 48 month period. Call the lender and ask.
The LENDER will have to remove any co-signor from the loan. Your only option is to have your daughter refinance the loan in her name only. She might be able to do this, given enough positive credit history on the existing loan and proof that it was her making the payments on time.
That would be fraud, making a loan if any received be void, and fraudulent. Call a Lawyer. You must prove that you did not sign that application
