He owns the car legally now that he has the title. The only thing you can do is gather financial evidence that you paid those 3 times and ask him for the money. If he refuses, take him to small claims court. You will win. If the person's name is not on the title he or she has no legal rights to the vehicle. Simply having possession of the title to a vehicle or any property does not confer ownership rights. A cosigner who is not included on the title cannot keep possession of it until they are reimbursed for payments made, they must use the due process of law. If the person's name is not on the title then the bank has made a serious error and has placed itself in the postition of being sued by the primary borrower if that person so chooses.
ANSWER It sounds like you're saying that you were the primary purchaser, and the co-signer only made three payments the length of the loan, correct? In that case. you guys both are probably on the title, and, to get the vehicle/title back is to arrange to oay him back for the three payments they made during that time. You can probably come to an amicable agreement like you pay them back for the total amount they spent on the vehicle and then have them go with you to the registration office in your city so that they can sign the title over to you.
Pay the loan off and then collect payments from the person you cosigned for.
Yes, a cosigner on a student loan can take the primary signer to court if they fail to make payments on the loan. As a cosigner, you are equally responsible for the loan and have the legal right to seek repayment through legal action if necessary. It's important to consult with a legal professional for guidance on the specific circumstances of your situation.
A cosigner can only be relieved of the financial obligation through refinancing of the loan without the current cosigner's participation.
Generally through a credit check.
A cosigner signs the debt agreement and the lender can demand payment from both the debtor and the cosigner. A guarantor does not sign and the lender needs to go through the debtor before demanding payment from a guarantor.
Unless you are also on the title you will need to do it through a lawsuit.
This would generally be payments over the internet, or through an ATM.
I am going through this same thing right now. It appears that their are no options but to pay it. Then you might be able to sue them for the money, but if they don't have it, you wont get it.
A stafford or perkins loan, yes, IF you qualify through the FAFSA.
If payments are being made through the system, and/or through payroll deduction, 4-6 weeks.
The short answer is, nothing good. As a co-signer, you are still responsible for making sure the mortgage payments are made in full on time. However, you should talk to the bank that holds the mortgage to see what you need to do, particularly if the title of the house doesn't come to you through the will or settling of the estate.
Continue to make your payments through Colorado until notified otherwise. CO SDU should transfer the payments to Tennessee.
