Additional Details I was out of work and the cosigner told the dealer they were going to make the payment for that month and they didnt...I didnt hurt anyone's credit because it showed up my credit report...by the time i was able to make the payment again the repossession was out of hand and they were nowhere in site, and they did this out of spite...

If they co-signed and the car was repo'd yes it did show up on their credit report also |

this is america, you can sue anyone for anything.
I don't think you'd have much luck, since the co-signer was doing YOU a favor on the car note. perhaps if you'd kept the payments current... |

Denise,
Take a step back.
If you weren't making payments on the car, then it is subject to repossession.
This isn't about your intentions. This isn't about who you did and didn't hurt.
This situation is about action and consequence.
If you don't pay the car note, then you risk your "ownership" of the vehicle as well as any down payments you made.
Accountability first.
Trying to blame the consequences for non-payment of debt on the co-signer is diverting the main issue. You don't have a legal basis to sue as repossession is a natural outcome of defaulting on the debt.
You signed the car note. You promised to pay. You could not pay because of your unemployment. The creditor reclaimed the asset to stem his losses and contain the default situation.
This is how our credit system works. If you don't like the outcome, you are always free to seek other types of financing arrangements.
I would use the money you were thinking about giving to a "no-good" lawyer to buy a hooptie in the meantine.
You will get more "bang" for your buck. |

If they were the co-signer it is your responsibility to make the payments, not theirs. If anything they should sue you for hurting their credit. |

How did someone else gwet YOUR car repoed weren't YOU making the payments? |

How did THEY "get your car repossed"? YOU were the primary borrower, correct? So YOU defaulted, correct? |
|

|
yes as you can sue any one for any thing but be prepared if you loose that the cost will be on you so go ahead |

FYI it showed up on the co-signers credit report as well. You have nothing to sue for the payments were your's to make, you didn't the car went bye, bye.
I'm suspecting boyfriend got ticked and that is the spite issue. |

The money you will spend for a lawyer to sue for a down payment (so that you could have what should have been affordable monthly payments for you) should be going towards the defaulted car payment itself. If they repo the car they will never get what it is actually worth if they sell it since cars depreciate enormously. The car will be sold at an auction and if, for example, you owe $10,000 and they only get $5000 at the auction, guess what??? You will still owe them $5000 because that is what they expected to get from you when you bought it. The company loans you the money to make money and they will stop at nothing until they get what is at least owed to them. Your credit will go right to the porcelain goddess and you will still have to pay the $5000 owed debt which will now be on your credit report for the repo. BTW- This WILL affect the cosigners credit as much as it will yours which is why intelligent people don't cosign on loans for people that have the bad credit situation in the first place. Bad credit means that you are unreliable to pay it back. I wish you the best of luck but I would just try to work it out with the lender and see what you have to do to get the car back, if it's not too late already! |
