Yes. If you signed the loan, you are still legally responsible for it.
no the police dont have to be notified
No but you should let them know they are off the hook. They should be notified that the loan has been paid off and they are no longer responsible for it.
They should be, however if the petitioner does not list, they may not be notified. However, there are ways to verify if a petitioner has filed for bankruptcy.
In a few states both the primary borrower and the cosigner must be notified by the lender through a "Right To Cure" notice before repossession action can occur. In Wisconsin a replevin order is necessary before a repossession can take place, but the cosigner is not always notified. In the majority of states the lender does not need to give either the primary or the cosigner notice of repossession action.
A car cannot be repossessed until the owner has missed several car payments and the owner has been notified of late payments. In most states a car can be repossessed after three months of non-payment.
No. Only when the vehicle is repossessed and always once the licence plates are turned in.
They will call you to pay the bill and after you ignore it for so long and do not turn your car in willingly they will come get it.
It would depend on the agency's established collection procedures. Usually the cosigner is notified after all attempts to collect from the original debtor have failed. The CA will then attempt to collect the debt from the cosigner before deciding whether to inititate legal action.
IF the primary has the credit score to satisfy the LENDER, YES. The co-signor will be notified they are no longer on the loan, which will likely make them VERY HAPPY.
Return it to the dealer.
The cosigner was probably "notified" that any funds held by the lender would be attached at the time the loan was signed. In order to garnish wages or place a lien on other property, the lender would have to go to court and obtain a judgment, in which case the cosigner would have received a summons from the court.
No. You cosigned on the loan. You are the bank's back-up payment if the first person defaults on payment and you become responsible. That is why it is very important that you trust the person you cosign for or you have the funds to pay for the car if they default. If you pay for the car, it becomes yours. Before it was repossessed, the bank should have notified you in writing. Then you have the option to take the car and pay for it. Both credits will by hurt substantially.
