Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Kansas

Rights of a co-signer

I co-signed an auto loan for ex-daughter-in-law. She has not made the payments, so in order to keep my credit, I have made the last 6 months of payment. She will not talk to me about the car. My name is on the title, in fact it is listed first. Do I have the right to get the car from her? What are her rights? What if she does not want to give up the car? I would appreciate any advice.

Re: Rights of a co-signer

You have the right to possess the vehicle, as long as there i sno enforceable agreement between you and your ex daughter-in-law, to have her hold the vehicle. If she will nto discuss the vehicle and will not make any payments, you probably should get the vehicle. Perhaps you can sell it, or retirn it to the lender. As you know, you remain liable to them until the vehicle is paid off.

Good Luck
