I was in this situation, but it corrected itself before it got ugly. In my case, I was Jack and called the dealership. I found that as a cosigner making the payments for a couple of months, I had the right to take the car from Jill, though I would have to be careful about going onto her property to take it when she wasn't aware, as she could get me for trespassing. But if I found it in a public place or a neutral parking lot, I was totally within my right to drive away in it. The dealership was going to provide me with my own key for a small cost. Thankfully, it didn't come to this, but it was nice to know that I would have the legal ability to do this without recourse if worse came to worst.

Can a cosigner take possession of a car if the primary signer is not paying the payments?

Yes. I believe the loaner will contact you with a past due amount, or send you a bill. If this hasn't happened yet, contact the loaner and tell them you want possesion if the car is not being paid for by the buyer. * No. A cosigner has no legal right to a vehicle unless his or her name appears on the title. The cosigner will have to make the payments to keep the vehicle from being reposssesed or have the vehicle refinanced in his or her name with the primary borrower being released from the current agreement, this can only be done if the lender agrees.


Can the cosigner repossess the car if the person is not making the payments?

If the co signers credit is going to be affected because of the lack of payments from the payee, and if the co signer is paying for the payments, then yes the car can be given over to the co signer, especially if the payee is not paying for the car that was agreed upon. check with the finance companies, and your local state, county laws.

If a car is in your name as the primary but your cosigner has been making payment for the last year and many of those payments have been paid late can you legally take that car from the cosigner?

Since the cosigners isn't paying, unless you start paying instead, and catch up on all late payments, the dealer or the bank will repossess the vehicle shortly anyway, so your question is moot.

Can a cosigner who is on the title of a leased car be sued for not paying any payments on the car when the primary leasee is paying off the loan?

First of all it would not be possible to be on the title of a leased vehicle, as the leasor retains ownership rights. A cosigner is only responsible for the debt if the primary borrower defaults on the lending agreement.

No. Once a cosigner has signed the contract the only way they can be removed from the responsibility is a new agreement being made without the assistance of the original cosigner.


What rights does a cosigner have to gain possession of the vehicle if he paid off the loan without your knowledge and the title is in your name only?

If a cosigner's name is not on the title they have no legal claim to the vehicle. They can file a lawsuit against the primary borrower to recover money that they contributed towards the paying of the loan.
