You won't go to jail. If the car is registered in your name, legally, it is your car. Your credit will be ruined for 7 years if you allow it to be repossessed. You will also pay the difference in what the lender sells the car for and the balance on the note, plus repo fees. I suggest you contact the lender and make some sort of arrangements. Don't let the car be repossessed. I'm guessing Grandma made the down payment and co-signed the loan and Junior promised he would make the payments. If so, both of their credit scores go down the drain. If only Grandma signed the note (unlikely if Junior's name is on the title) it will only show on her credit report.

You are current registered owner of car at DMV Leinholder lender that gave you loan is current legal owner at the DMV Can another lender repo your car saying they have an old interest in vehicle?

No, this would be considered a lien loss. Typically this occurs when a vehicle is traded in, previously repoed and resold, or sold outright and the previous lienholder either never perfected the lien, or provided the proper paperwork when reselling it after repossession. If the vehicle is repoed, contact your lender to ensure they did not order it, contact the repo agency who recovered it and report it wrongfully repoed, and demand the name of the lender who ordered it. The vehicle if actually wrongfully repoed must be returned to you undamaged as soon as possible.
