Can someone garnish a cosigner for a car and garnish the primary also?
In the State of Texas, the answer would be "YES" as both parties signed for the car loan and both are responsible for the balance due. I was the primary signor but the cosigner had the car and was making the payments. Then she stopped making payments after owning the car for 3 years and the car was repossessed.
Can a cosigner repossess the car?
No, only the lien holder of the car can repossess it. If the primary on the account can't make the payments, the co-signer becomes leggaly responsible for the debt. No. You have to go through the legal processes and sue for the car. If the primary owner of the car is not making payments and you can prove to the court that you have made the majority of the payments, then you may be able to get the car. You should never co-sign in the future, too much is at stake when you do. If your name is the only name on the registration, then you can take the car from the primary owner - call it in stolen if they refuse to give it up. Technically, the owner is the person on the registration - no matter who pays for the car.
What happens to a cosigner of a car loan when the primary loan holder files bankruptcy and the loan is discharged and they do a voluntary repossession?
They can still come after the cosigner, and it will still reflect poorly on your cosigner's credit history. You have been absolved of the debt, not your cosigner.
