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.

If the loan was for a car, some states allow the cosigner to take possession of the car and sell it to recoup losses also.
