Very little actually. They have the right to use the vehicle as long as they are current in their loan payments to the lender (who is the ACTUAL owner of the car, until the loan is paid off).

The only way to get all rights back from the co-borrower is to have the loan refinanced. The co-borrower will have to agree to remove their name from the car.

What are the rights of the cosigner to sell a car?

None, unless the cosigner is also on the title of the vehicle they have no legal rights to the property. When someone cosigns a loan for any reason they accept the responsibility of paying the debt if the primary borrower defaults. The only option a cosigner has in recovering money paid out in connection with the loan is to sue the primary borrower in the appropriate court, in the city or county where the borrower lives.

What are the rights of a co-borrower on a home loan?

A borrower and co-borrower on a loan share benefit and liability equally. The only practical difference between the two is that loans are generally priced (interest rate or fees) based on the primary borrowers qualifications (these qualifications may actually determine who is primary and who is secondary). While the primary borrower's name is first on documents for the loan, the co-borrower is equally liable and has the same rights. While your rights as co-borrower may not be less than the borrower, people often overestimate the rights of either party. For example, many divorcing spouses assume they have the right to call the lender and remove themselves from the loan, which is not the case. If you separate and there is no court order to refinance the loan and you never refinance it out of your name and the primary stops making payments, the lender has every right to collect from you and report the late payments on your credit.


Can the cosigner get her name off the loan or can she take the car if her name is not on the registration?

The only way to be relieved from cosigning obligations is for the primary borrower to refinance the vehicle. And no, if the person's name is not on the car title they have no ownership rights.
