You CANT legally. She could report it STOLEN if you did. Best thing to do is contact the LENDER and assure them that YOU will make the payments IF they will repo it. AND get the registration out of her name. They can do that AFTER repo. Good Luck and MERRY Christmas.

In a repossession do you have to pay off the entire car right then or just keep making your loan payments monthly for the duration of the loan?

It would depend on the contract you signed when you purchased the car.


What happens when someone you cosigned a mortgage for has filed for bankruptcy?

When you co-sign on a loan or mortgage for someone, you are promising to make the loan payments if they can't. When someone files for bankruptcy, they are claiming that they cannot make their payments. It would stand to reason that if someone you co-signed on a mortgage for files for bankruptcy that you would then be liable for making the payments.


Is it fair to pay on a loan you've had for 5 or 6 years and the balance is still the same I only borrowed maybe 1500?

You must be making minimal payments that are only covering the interest. You need to pay more attention to the details when you borrow money. You must have signed a loan agreement and failed to read the small print. That's how unsophisticated borrowers get taken advantage of. It isn't fair but it's something you entered into voluntarily. You need to pay more attention and start making much bigger payments.You must be making minimal payments that are only covering the interest.

If you cosign for a car does your credit rating improve?

Your credit rating will improve if the party that you have co-signed for makes prompt payments. If they fail to do this, you are on the hook for the payments and late fees that they may incur. Only co-sign for someone that you are sure will make the payments.

You bought a car someone else is making the payments and has defaulted on the loan can you get this off your credit report?

The car, regardless of who's making the payments, is your responsibility. You bought it, you're the owner. This is why it's not wise to buy such large items for others and then assuming they'll make good on the payments. If you have a written agreement with the other person that states they're responsible for payments, you could sue them to collect, but as far as lenders and your credit are concerned, the car belongs to you.

If you are the co-buyer and you are the one making the payments can the buyer take your auto away?

Cosigning for ANYONE is one big mistake. If the person you cosign for is not making the payments then the person that cosigned is responsible for all payments. I have no idea why anyone would want to do this. Unless there were stipulations in the contract you signed with the buyer, then no, they can't just up and sell the car. Take another look at your contract. Marcy


Is it legal for a bank to take a portion of a check you sent them for the principal of your mortgage only payment and use it for future payments and interest for themselves?

It depends on your mortgage contract and other details. If you owe interest it can usually take that from a check you sent for principal only. You should review the documents you signed at the closing carefully for any section that deals with making payments toward the principal outside of regular payments.It depends on your mortgage contract and other details.

Can someone garnish a cosigner for a car and garnish the primary also?

In the State of Texas, the answer would be "YES" as both parties signed for the car loan and both are responsible for the balance due. I was the primary signor but the cosigner had the car and was making the payments. Then she stopped making payments after owning the car for 3 years and the car was repossessed.
