Re: co-signer
Thank you for your legal question and posting.
The answer to your question depends on who is on title. You mentioned that you are a co-signer on the loan, but only if you are on title do you have a right to the truck.
Otherwise, you either have to have the state force him to pay (as the person on title), or if you are on title, you can repossess the vehicle, or you can pay the tags, and sue him for reimbursement.
I hope this information helps you, but if you need any other questions answered, want more information, or feel that you need an attorney to assist or handle any part of this for you, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. I�m happy to help in any way that I can, and best of luck.
