If you cosigned for a car and the primary borrower is not paying can you sue for the car if you have kept the payments current but the car is in the other name?

Sorry, but when you co-sign for a loan you are solely responsible. He gets to keep the car and you get the bill! This is why co-signing is a very dangerous venture and no one should ever do it unless the co-signer know they may have to pay the loan off willing and able. Sorry Marcy If your name is on the title then you can go get the car anytime you want the car, but be advised that he/she can do the same thing no matter who is making the payments. Hope this helps! NEVER CO-SIGN!

Don't understand what you mean by the phrase, "...voluntary have it returned..." However, as long as the primary indebted party is current in their payments there would be no reason for the loan company to contact you for payments.

The co-signer has no inherent authority to "call for" the payment in full of the loan. If the primary borrower is missing payments it is likely they cannot afford to repay the loan.

Primary borrower on loan?
I recently co-signed for a loan for my brother. The dealership not only put me in the primary borrower position (which was a mistake), but since then there have been payment issues. So it has been my phone ringing off the hook. Even as a co-signer (non primary borrower) I would have been responsible to make the payments in the event the primary borrower did not. I understood that. However, if you are applying for a loan being the co-signer does make a difference rather than being the primary. Typically, to be a co-signer you will have to prove (by showing the payments being made from a co-borrowers account) that they are making the payments or it will affect your DTI (Debt to Income ratio). Also as the primary YOU will get the calls if there is a late payment - in my case they did not even have the co-borrowers phone number. This really doesn't mean anything except that I had all of the pain for their being late on their payments. My credit has been negatively affected. SO IF you are going to be the primary borrower - be sure that you are willing to make the payments.
