What action can a cosigner take to get payment history information from a lender?

The co-signer only has to make a phone call to obtain the history information. Most of this information is automatic--call the lender and use your social security number if you do not know the account number. Ask for a supervisor or loan manager if you are having a hard time of it or if you can wait, request the information in writing.

Can a cosigner ask the court to garnish the borrower's wages to make the loan payments?
The cosigner can ask but I seriously doubt they will be successful. The cosigner knew the risks when they signed the loan application. The cosigner knew, or should have known, the borower's history of successful loan payoffs were questionable at best. The cosigner assumed the responsibility when they signed on.

A cosigner cannot be arrested solely for being a cosigner on a loan. However, if the primary borrower defaults on the loan, the cosigner may be held responsible for the debt and face legal action if they do not fulfill their obligations.
If you cosigned for a car and it got repossessed voluntarily what will it do to your credit and will you owe?
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.
What are the consequences of signing a car loan when the primary borrower defaults on the payments?

When you cosign for a vehicle will it be on your credit report and therefore effect the cosigner when they attempt to make a major purchase in the future?
Yes, all action on the part of the primary borrower will be reflected on the cosigner's credit report.
How should you be contacted if the car you cosigned on is being sold?
In a few states both the primary borrower and the cosigner must be notified by the lender through a "Right To Cure" notice before repossession action can occur. In Wisconsin a replevin order is necessary before a repossession can take place, but the cosigner is not always notified. In the majority of states the lender does not need to give either the primary or the cosigner notice of repossession action.
