Possibly. Contact an attorney for a definite answer.


Can a cosigner repossess a car if the primary borrower stops making payments?

No. Only the lender can "repossess" a vehicle. You need to keep making the payments to protect your own credit. It is likely you would need to bring a court action, prove you are making the payments and petition the court to order a transfer of title.


If a person co-signed for another's car will the co-signer be taken if they file for bankruptcy?

Yes! The whole point of cosigning a loan, from the lender's perspective, is that they have 2 people on the hook for the loan in the event it goes sour. If the person stops making payments (bankruptcy or not), they will come after the cosigner, making the cosigner wish he/she had never, ever cosigned.


Does the cosigner need to be contacted when the owner stops making payments?

Under federal law, I don't believe the lender has any obligation to contact you as soon as the borrower misses a payment. You need to ask the lender to do it, and get this in writing.


Would cosigning a car loan hurt you for a mortgage?

It may. When you cosign a loan it becomes your own debt. By cosigning you agree to be responsible for paying the loan balance if the primary borrower stops making payments. That's why the bank requires a cosigner. If you apply for a mortgage the lender will figure that debt into the calculations as to your ability to repay the mortgage you apply for.It may.

Does a cosigner have rights to have keys to the car?

No. Not unless they are also on the title. The name on the Certificate of Title is the owner. Unless the co-signer makes other arrangements than just co-signing the loan, all they have is the debt to pay if the primary borrower stops making payments.

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.


Does the co signer have to have a job?

Most likely, but alot of it depends on the co signers credit score, also if they have sources of income other than a job. The purpose of a co signer is for the bank to have someone to go after for a debt if you don't pay.
