Re: Cosigned Loan responsiblity

Unfortunately, the court does not have jurisdiction over the creditor and therefore cannot make orders that would affect the creditor. Therefore this is no practical legal remedy for you. You might, after a few hearings get the judge to order him to refinance or sell the car, but that would be a lot of work, and the judge might not make the order that you request. You are best off to deal with him and ask him to refinance. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
