North Carolina is considered as a non-recourse state. People who live here can leave their mortgage without any penalty of putting their other assets at risk.

Can I repossess a car I co-signed for?

No. You need a court order.

If you agreed to obtain the car loan you should have placed your name as co-owner on the title. Since you are not on the title you cannot take possession of the car. Since you ARE responsible for the car loan you must keep the car payments current. You need to take the matter to court to request the car be retitled in your name.

There is a more serious problem lurking. You need to make sure the insurance is current and that the car is fully insured. If the legal owner has allowed the insurance to lapse or does not have full coverage you will still be responsible for repayment of the loan if the car is wrecked. That situation arises frequently in cases like this one with individuals who are not responsible enough to make car payments. If they can't make the car payments then it usually follows that they cannot make insurance payments either.

You need to get before a judge ASAP in order to get that car out of the possession of the legal "owner". Make certain you make the loan payments and that you have written proof that you are making them. You must bring that proof of payment to court as well as proof that you obtained the loan to pay for the car. If you find that the insurance has lapsed you should try to obtain proof of that also.

Your dad passed away he owes money on his car?

In this situation (at least in california), if the RO (registered owner) (or the cosigner) dies and still owes on the loan the vehicle will be repossessed because the title to the vehicle cannot be legally transfered to another family member. The loan is only for one person. My girlfriends mother cosigned on the loan to the car, and being that the mother is old, i told my girl to make sure that at any time she might have to pay off the vehicle. If the RO dies, pay the car off as soon as possible, before the Finance company finds out. As a repossessor , usually people in this situation arent sure what their rights are. Sometimes people will continue to pay on the loan, but in time, the finance company will find out. THis usually happens when a 3rd party will insure the vehicle in their name, or if an accident happens, etc. Check your states law though, because they are all different.

The repo man will pick up the vehicle anytime and anywhere he can do it while watching out for his personal safety.
