"""the co-signer do if the lender can't"""????????? New one on me... IF the debtor/signor cant/wont make the payments, the co-signor is obligated to make the payments to the lender. The co-signor can demand/beg/plead/con/coerce the signor to let co-signor have possession of the collateral just like the lender will if the payments dont get made. Does that help?

Does the lender have to notify you as a cosigner if the primary borrower fails to make a payment?
No, but if the borrower misses enough payments, the cosigner will start getting collection calls as well.
Can the cosigner sell the house if his name is not on the deed and the primary borrower has missed 3 payments?
No. If you are not on the deed, you can't sell the property. The only "right" you have as a cosigner is the obligation to make the payments.
Cosigner repo a vehicle?
If you are a co-signer of a repossesion, and the primary borrower has not made an attempt to make their payments then you are fully responsible for this debt.
Can the lending company sue the cosigner on an auto loan if borrower doesn't make payments?
Of course. That's what co-signers are agreeing to when they co-sign.
Should a co signer be told if something they signed for is getting repoed?
No. The cosigner should make certain the loan payments are being made since they guaranteed the loan would be paid back. If the primary borrower isn't paying then the cosigner must pay or their own credit record will be ruined and the lender can go after them for payment.No. The cosigner should make certain the loan payments are being made since they guaranteed the loan would be paid back.

Can a lender make you pay for a loan for which you co-signed if the borrower filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and is no longer making payments?
You guaranteed to pay the loan if the primary borrower does not. That is what a cosigner does. The lender is going to be looking at you for their money.
If you are a cosigner on a vehicle loan and your name is listed on the title as OR then what rights do you have when the primary buyer defaults on payments?
You have the right to pay the loan. When a cosigner enters into a loan agreement he is promising to assume responsibility for the debt should the borrower ever default on the loan. This means simply that if the borrower stops making payments the cosigner will have to take over the payments. You may even be responsible for the full payment of the loan in the event that the borrower dies or is disabled. The cosigner, or in many times, the co-borrower is equally responsible for the debt. The debt will be reflected on the co-signors credit report and may negatively impact the person's credit should the debt become delinquent. If the primary borrower cannot pay the debt, the lender will pursue the co-signor just as equally as the primary borrower. In some cases the lender may only go after the cosigner. If you cosign on a auto loan and the borrower does not make his payments, you will be responsible for making the payments even though you do not have posession of the vehicle. The borrower will be driving around in a vehicle that you are paying for, and it can be a nightmare to extract yourself from this situation. You will not only be responsible for any arrears of the loan; you will also be responsible for any late fees, additional interest, and collection fees.
If a cosigner is forced to make payments on the loan because the borrower has defaulted can the car be confiscated from the borrower by the cosigner?
No. The car is not your property, nor do you have legal authority to sieze property. It would be considered grand theft. As a co-signer, you agreed to be just as legally liable for the debt as the borrower. That's why it's a good idea to NEVER co-sign ANYTHING.
How do you the cosigner sue primary borrower?
The cosigner can sue the primary borrower by taking legal action in a court of law. This typically involves filing a lawsuit against the primary borrower for failing to make payments as agreed upon in the contract or agreement. It is advisable for the cosigner to consult with a lawyer to understand their legal options and the process for suing the borrower.
If the borrower cannot make the payments but the cosigner does can the mortgage company still take the house?
Not if the cosigner has been making the payments on time. But often the cosigner doesn't know the loan is in default until it is past due 30 days or more, so if you have received two or three (depends on state laws) Right To Cure Default letters, the bank can foreclose.
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.
Can a cosigner take the borrower to court for payments the cosigner had to make?
Can they? Yes. You can take someone to court for anything. Collecting is something else. Unless you had an agreement in writing stating that you would be reimbursed, I doubt you would win. Find out what car dealers don't want you to know at dealertricks
