Can a cosigner take away your car even though payments are not delinquent?

Generally, a cosigner cannot take away your car unless the car is titled in their name. If you and your cosigner are joint owners of the vehicle, then they may have more rights to the vehicle in the event of a default on the loan.

However, even in this case, most states have laws that protect consumers from having their vehicles repossessed without warning or without being given an opportunity to pay the debt.

If you are concerned that your cosigner may take your car, it's important to speak with a qualified attorney to understand your rights and options.
