Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

Can they take my sons vehicle?

My son co-signed a loan for his exgirlfriend and she is in default, can they take his 1989 ford bronco that has a clear title? she is claiming he was a co-applicant? if that is true, can they take it? what can he do to protect his vehicle, as that is his only means of transportation to and from work, which is a 20 mile trip one way.He is going to a hearing on Wednesday the 12th about this and cannot afford a lawyer.

Re: Can they take my sons vehicle?

The creditor must obtain a judgement first. I suggest he may be liable and they would be able to take his vehicle to satisfy the judgment. I suggest he immediately transfer title out of his name for the vehicle. You still might want to consult an attorney. I would charge only $25 for a telephone conference. My phone number is 215-579-9390 Gerald Hershenson Esq.

If they obtain a judgement, the answer is yes. I am not sure what hearing he has on the 12th but I would suggest he consult an attorney because he could lose his vehicle.
