Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

car debt and no car

I had bought a car co-signed with my wife then we separated and she took the car and was to be making payments yet she fell behind 2 months and the company picked up the car yet I was not informed of that and when I found out about 3 weeks later I called and found out that my car was already sold and had no chance to pay what my exwife did not pay so i could recuperate my car, the company told me that it was sold and I still owe about 3,000 and I have no car. Do you think that it is fair and legal that they sold my car without letting me know, what can i do? Is there a law that determines how much time they can hold the car and was I supposed to been informed when we separated I let the dealership know that my exwife was incharge of the payments. Please advice me @ [email protected]

Not nice, but completely legal.

Unless the dealership was made a party to your divorce, any agreement you may have made with your ex isn't binding on your creditors. You can always sue your ex for the money she'll cost you, for whatever that's worth.
