Under "contract law", in this instance the loan/payment agreement you signed at the time the car was handed over to you.
If you are the co signer, then it is automatically your responsibility if he defaults
No. He/she simply has to pay the loan if you don't. Has no real right to the car even if you do miss payments. Has to go to court and show you have defaulted on the loan and has paid on it.
Yes. If the signer defaults on the loan, then you, as the cosigner, would be liable.
It is impossible.
No. If you cosign on a car loan and the person defaults, the finance company can not take your house in this state. After the finance company seizes the car, both you and the other person would still owe the unpaid balance of the loan.
Yes, it is possible to have two co-signers on a car loan. Both co-signers are equally responsible for repaying the loan if the primary borrower defaults.
When the primary borrower defaults the cosigner becomes legally responsible for the loan. If the cosigner is not able to pay the loan he or she can also be subject to legal action by the lender and the cosigner's credit score will be seriously affected.
When a consumer defaults on a car loan their credit becomes negatively affected. Not only that, the previously purchased vehicle will become subject to repossession if the payment is not received.
Unfortunately if you cosigned a loan that means you were willing to pay the loan if the other signer defaults and if that happen they will go by any means to collect that money that you "cosigned/said" you would cover if the other person defaults. I would go after that person that you cosigned for if it has gone this far.
If you cosign a car loan, you are agreeing to be responsible for the loan if the primary borrower fails to make payments. This means that if the borrower defaults on the loan, you will be legally obligated to repay the loan amount, potentially affecting your credit score and financial stability.
With your good credit you sign a contract to pay off the loan if the original borrower defaults.
In the event the loan defaults, and the lender obtains a judgment against you, AND the judgment is also defaulted on, the lender could petition the court for an order to sieze or liquidate other real property. The likelihood of this is small, and the occurrence of it is rare, but it is possible.
