A co-signer is the legal borrower of the money for a vehicle. You're only along for the ride in the hopes it will bring your credit up if all the payments are made properly. The car can be repoed if you drop insurance, make late payments, or otherwise don't keep the car in good condition while there is a loan on the vehicle. Pay your debts or surrender the property. That's the law.
You need to discuss this situation with the original lender.
CALL THE LENDER. They can advise you and work with you.
Whether a repossession is done "voluntarily" by the primary or through the action of the lender, the primary borrower and the cosigner are still legally responsible for all the terms of the lending agreement. The affect the repossession has on the cosigner's credit history will depend upon the actions of the lender to recover the debt owed.
The loan must be paid off or the lender must agree in writing to remove your name from the obligation.
Yes. You can file BK. The lender will then go after the co-signer for payment. In other words, the co-signer learns why the lender required a co-signer in the first place.
If you cosigned for the note, you are saying that if the person who took out the note does not pay you will. I am surprised the lender did not come after you prior to repo.
CALLL the lender and ask. You are not the first person to want to do this. They have guidelines for doing it.
He will be the first to be sued. You will be next. Make sure the lender knows where he is working and living.
Your lender, or the lender you are considering. The amortization is going to break down payments further, so you have to consider what you still owe to the lender.
If you are talking about someone who cosigned for your loan filing bankruptcy, As long as you continue to make your payments on time, nothing will happen. If you are talking about someone you cosigned for taking bankruptcy, you may very well have to pay this loan. Contact the lender.
CONTACT the lender for available options in this matter. NO! Try to get a quit clain deed for her interests.
The loan has to be "secured" by someone with good credit. Call the lender for their loan qualifications.
