You must make certain the person who has agreed to co-sign your loan understands they will be fully responsible for paying the debt if you default on the loan or if you die while the loan is outstanding. Their name should also be on the title to the car and the insurance so they can be notified if you don't pay the insurance or take the car over if you fail to pay and they must make the payments. Most people don't realize all the financial responsibility that comes from co-signing for another person's car loan. If the co-signer owns any real property it could become vulnerable to your creditor if you default on the loan.

Im a primary borrower on a loan n i had2 have a cosigner to get my car. i have made several payments on my carnthe cosigner had told me tht he had the car sold hes now got the not makein payments?

Something is not right here. If you are the primary, then why is the cosigner making payments and why does the cosigner have possession of the vehicle? The is back-wards of what it should be. And why in the world would you put the cosigners name on the title? You have a mess on your hands, because you went about this all wrong. You need to contact a lawyer ASAP.
