What do you do if you've co signed for someone and they are not making payments and you have given them money to catch up their payments and they still didn't make the payments and hid the vehicle?

You need to make those payments directly to the creditor or the late payments will be reflected as your own debt on your credit record. Thats what you contracted to do when you decided to be the co-signer. You should never hand over cash to pay loan payments to a person who is already defaulting on those payments. You may want to consult with an attorney about taking possession of the vehicle through a civil process.

∙ 8y agoAs the co-signer you're ultimately responsible for paying off the vehicle. You then have a right to turn around and sue the other party for non-payment. If you're given a judgement you can place a lien on the vehicle and either repossess it and sell it or keep it.

What do you do if you sold a vehicle to someone with a promissory note stating they will make payments and signed the title over if they do pay?
If they signed the promissory note, then it is legal, and binding.
Can your loan be in default if you are making your payments on time but have failed to insure the vehicle or provide information to the loan company?
Yes. Making payments on time is only one of several things you agreed to do when you signed the loan papers.
If someone made payments to purchase vehicle and to pay remainder of balance when picking up the vehicle then changes mind is there a refund owed on payments?
No. You are not entitled to a refund if you made payments toward the purchase of a vehicle. In truth, if you signed a contract to purchase the vehicle, that vehicle is now secondary to the contract, you could still be held responsible for the balance of the loan, whether or not you still have the vehicle.
What happens when someone you cosigned a mortgage for has filed for bankruptcy?
When you co-sign on a loan or mortgage for someone, you are promising to make the loan payments if they can't. When someone files for bankruptcy, they are claiming that they cannot make their payments. It would stand to reason that if someone you co-signed on a mortgage for files for bankruptcy that you would then be liable for making the payments.
Do you have a right to take a car away if you are the cosigner?
Well if the original person that you co-signed with defaults on the payments and you are stuck with the payments, technically it is your vehicle and you can take the person to court and take control of the vehicle.
Does a bank have to refinance a car to transfer payments to someone else?
Yes. Or the bank can "add" you to the loan and retain the originator too making the loan a "joint" or "co-signed" loan.
Can someone garnish a cosigner for a car and garnish the primary also?
In the State of Texas, the answer would be "YES" as both parties signed for the car loan and both are responsible for the balance due. I was the primary signor but the cosigner had the car and was making the payments. Then she stopped making payments after owning the car for 3 years and the car was repossessed.
Your ex-boyfriend and you bought a car and he is not making the payments. The registration contains both names. Is it legal for you to go get the vehicle and begin making the payments yourself?
I once had a rooster named Smokey and I co-signed to get him a Power Wheels truck, you know, that Escalade deal. Well Smokey didn't pay the note but he got all the chicks! Ha Ha
Can a car be repossessed AFTER chapter 13 filing in Missouri?
Yes. Only if there was a relief of stay issued for the vehicle or you signed a reaffirmation for the vehicle loan and didn't make the payments.
You bought a car someone else is making the payments and has defaulted on the loan can you get this off your credit report?
The car, regardless of who's making the payments, is your responsibility. You bought it, you're the owner. This is why it's not wise to buy such large items for others and then assuming they'll make good on the payments. If you have a written agreement with the other person that states they're responsible for payments, you could sue them to collect, but as far as lenders and your credit are concerned, the car belongs to you.
Can you repossess a vehicle in which you are the co-buyer if the primary is not making payments on time and you already made a payment?
It appears you co-signed so you are out of luck. You are then considered the lender and took the responsibility of the loan. Legally, if this person kept up their payments there is nothing you could do because the vehicle is theres. However, they are delinquent on keeping payments up, so go to the banking institution or whomever you dealt with and tell them you want to continue payments, but want the vehicle. They will advice you on what course of action to take. It depends on how the vehicle is registered/titled. If you are listed as an owner, you have the right to have the vehicle picked up. In most cases, the co-signers are not listed so hopefully you were smart enough to be listed as an owner.
Co signed for a car for your grandson and he is not paying If you stop making payments will your credit be affected?
Yes. When you co-signed the loan you made yourself legally responsible to pay the amount due if your grandson failed to make the payments. You are as responsible as he is for paying the loan.
