Legal Question in Business Law in Indiana
loans
I would like to know if there is a way to get out of a car loan I co-signed for 21/2 yrs ago. The loan seems to be in good standing. The loan & title to the car is in my name & a friends' but my friend refuses to obtain the loan. There is still owed almost 8,000 to the bank. It seems to be haunting me as far as my debt ratio goes.
thank you

Re: loans
I assume as far as you are concerned, bankruptcy is out of the question. A bankruptcy is the only way I can think of that would legally compel your co-owner and co-debtor and loan company to let you loose. If your co-debtor were to re-finance the car in his name alone, you would then be released. You might do the exploratory work about what a good deal this would be for him. I suggest you try to work through credit unions or banks. They'll probably be happy to go out four years, maybe more, on a relatively good used car. I hope the friend reciprocates acts of friendship with you. Good luck.
