If only one month passed with no payment can you the co-signer have the car repossessed to avoid credit problems in the future?
When we cosigned a loan for our daughter we wrote up a separate contract which she signed. In the contract it stated that if she was one month late we had the right to reposess and she would also be responsible for all interest charges incurred for the life of the loan. We had insurance stipulaions as well. She signed the agreement and it is useable in court.

VERY possible. reporting repos is up to the LENDER(of course, they usually do). It was very much repoed from you sooo. Nothing you can do about the co-signor having or not having a repo on their credit.

Yes, the cosigner is typically liable for the vehicle if the primary borrower defaults and the vehicle is repossessed.

It's important for cosigners to understand their obligations before agreeing to cosign a loan.

It is their legal right to never inform you and simply allow your credit deteriorate. It is your job as the cosigner to make sure the contract is up-to-date.

If you cosigned for a car and it got repossessed voluntarily what will it do to your credit and will you owe?
Whether a repossession is done "voluntarily" by the primary or through the action of the lender, the primary borrower and the cosigner are still legally responsible for all the terms of the lending agreement. The affect the repossession has on the cosigner's credit history will depend upon the actions of the lender to recover the debt owed.
Will a cosigner's credit history appear on your credit report?
