You don't. If the cobuyer has possession of the vehicle and is no longer making payments, you as the buyer may take possession and either take up and make current the payments, or voluntarily surrender the vehicle. Failure to do so will result in repossession, and will adversely affect your credit.

I bought a car but i used my brother's name now my brother wants to remove his name but the car is not paid off yet?

If the brother was the signer or co-signer of the loan, he is on the hook for the full amount of the loan until the car is fully paid for. If you default on the loan it goes against his credit rating. If the brother did not sign the loan, but his name was used, that is identity theft and forgery and may seem petty ... but is a serious felony. If the brother wants his name off the loan, he could force you to sell the car. Or you could find the money to pay off the car in full. There is almost no way the finance company will ever let a co-signer off of a loan.

What can you do if a car dealership approving a car loan only to require a cosigner or return the car?

There is not much you can do. You could try to get a loan through a credit union or loan company, but the dealership can do this if your loan requirements were not met when you bought the car. Since you need a cosigner my guess is your credit is not good or you don't have enough. Your options are get a independent loan, get a cosigner, or return the car. *********************************************************** There's not much you can do except pay it off. If the lender does not feel comfortable that you, the borrower, can service the debt; then he is within his rights to require a co-signer for the loan. If you default, then it falls upon the co-signer to pay the debt off. Co-signers are notorious for getting burnt on deals like this.

If you are late on your car loan by two or three payments but you got a letter saying you are in breech of your loan will you still lose your car and if you pay it up to date?

You can pay off the note but if the lender has declared the note in default that means that you have to pay it off now or the car will be repossessed and sold to cover expenses. Most notes have a description of what constitutes default. Late payments can result in just what you're describing. Your only choices are to pay it off (you might need to get another loan) or sell it yourself or turn it back to the lender.

If you are sent a zero ballance letter from you mortgage company stating your loan is closed can they default on it without notice?

Confused. If the loan is paid off - hence 0 balance...then it can't said to be in default...there is nothing due. (and you are the only one that can be in default, not the lender). If it was charged or written off, then it is in default and still due. The letter is not saying there is a 0 balance.
