Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in North Carolina
co-signer on vehicle loan
My boyfriend is the primary on a car loan i am secondary. Is there anyway i can get out of it. He is mentally and sometimes physically abusive and this vehicle is keeping me from moving out. He makes 72k a year, i make 25k. the payment is $634/monthly....I cannot afford it and pay rent too... If the bank takes it how much of an inpact will it have on my credit since he is primary and makes 3 times more then me. He first said if we split its mine, then he said he would just let the bank come and get it, if i refused to take it. Already tried trading down but there is already 8k in negative equity and we had rolled over 5k from last vehicle. What can I do? Thanks

If he is abusive, you need to seek help notwithstanding what may happen to the car or your credit. One resource is the North Carolina Commission Against Domestic Violence.
