No
A cosigner or coowner cannot repossess a vehicle. That is something the leinholder does.
you are still liable for that loan. the lender may decide to not accept the bankruptcy charge and go after you for the money.
No, a cosigner only has the legal obligation to pay the debt if the primary borrower defaults on the lending agreement.The exception to this would be if the cosigner is a joint title holder of the vehicle.COSINGER!Does a consignor have rights to the vehicle if the people who is buying the car never missed a payment?
Yes, that's exactly how it works. If you'd paid for the vehicle at the time of the co-signers bakruptcy you could have kept the vehicle and improved your credit. The creditor wants you to either pay for the remainder of the note or file bankruptcy yourself. * A loan for a vehicle is considered a secured debt and is not dischargeable by the primary borrower(s) or cosigner(s) in bankruptcy action. All parties named on the loan agreement are responsible for the debt unless the SOL for the state in which the vehicle was either purchased or the debtor resides has expired.
Absolutely not! If you are still using the vehicle, it must be insured. However, the insurance payment would not be covered by the bankruptcy.
Yes, they can be removed from the title although there isn't much point to the action if the vehicle is subject to BK seizure. However it is not possible to be removed from the loan agreement. The cosigner will likely be obligated to pay the outstanding debt.
ONLY if you are listed on the TITLE as co-owner. Othwise you have NO rights to possession, ONLY payment of the loan.
If you're auto payment is included in your bankruptcy, then yes, they will require you to keep full coverage as long as there is a secured balance on the vehicle.
If there are two individuals listed on the title of a vehicle as primary and joint, they are both responsible for the payment of the loan. If the primary defaults on the payment, the joint owner is responsible for payment. If both parties default, the vehicle can be repossessed.
If you no longer want to be a cosigner for a vehicle, you can discuss the situation with the primary borrower to see if they can refinance the loan in their name alone. Alternatively, you could request the lender to release you from your obligation, though this typically requires the borrower to meet certain criteria, such as demonstrating consistent payment history. If neither option is viable, you may need to consult a legal professional for further advice on your rights and responsibilities.
Nope.
Two things to consider here: First, the cosigner is an equal owner of the vehicle regardless of whether or not any payment has been made by him. This is a matter of contract law. Second, and typically in cases where payments are not current, the cosigner/co-owner can take possession of the vehicle to protect his credit if his intention is to surrender the unit or to make payments current.
