Really simple:

The loan goes into default and the car gets reposessed.

In many car loans, the language in the contract ensures that in the event of default, the lender doesn't need to provide any more consideration and can take the car without worrying about the money left when default occured.

Can the Bank go after the cosigner for a balance that was settled with them before a bankruptcy?

yes, unless the co-signer claims bankruptcy


If you filed for bankruptcy would the cosigner of your auto loan be forced to take over payment?

The answer is that the cosigner would be left responsible for taking over the payments. If the cosigner wants to maintain his or her credit rating (which is probably damaged due to your filing bankruptcy), If the consignor does not want the auto loan people to sue for any remaining balance, then he or she will need to keep making the payments. If the auto loan company sues for any remaining balance and gets a judgment, then the auto loan company will go after the assets of the consignor and or garish their earnings. attempt o seize their assets or garnish their earnings.


If the cosigner files bankruptcy and claims the debt of the cosigned loan is the cosigner relieved of the cosigned debt?

Unfortunately, no. For all co-signed debts, both signers are liable for repayment of the debt. When one party has their obligation discharged by bankruptcy, the remaining debtor becomes 100% liable for repayment of the balance.


What is deferred principal balance on a mortgage?

A deferred balance is one possible method for a borrower to modify a loan. This normally would be done if the borrower is struggling with repayments, but there is a strong prospect that the borrower's financial situation will improve in the long term. Lenders typically will not insist that a borrower already be behind on payments before agreeing to such a modification. The other part of the balance effectively becomes an interest-free loan to be paid off as a lump sum at the end of the mortgage term. The effect is that the person's monthly repayments will be lower because the amount of the principal subject to monthly payments has been reduced. Whether he winds up paying more or less overall depends on whether the loan repayment period is extended for so long that even with a reduced balance subject to interest, the total interest charged increases. A borrower who gets a deferred balance should make plans to have the cash on hand to pay off this balance when the loan period ends.

Would cosigning a car loan hurt you for a mortgage?

It may. When you cosign a loan it becomes your own debt. By cosigning you agree to be responsible for paying the loan balance if the primary borrower stops making payments. That's why the bank requires a cosigner. If you apply for a mortgage the lender will figure that debt into the calculations as to your ability to repay the mortgage you apply for.It may.

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.

Does the primary owner have rights to a auto the cosigner wont pay for?

The primary is the one responsible for paying the loan. If they default (stop making payments) the co-sihner will be responsible for paying the balance or both their credit records will be ruined. If the co-signer's name is not on the title they will not own the property even if they paid for it. They would have to sue the primary borrower in court and obtain a favorable judgment.
