Should I sue?
My father cosigned on a car 3 years ago with me, my credit was higher than his but i didn't have any credit with payments, I paid on time, until I was forced to go on maternity leave and I lost my job shortly after i had my son, I found another job after 2 months , my father took possession of the car before then, but before he took possession I paid 700 for a tune up so my car was like brand new, he took the car in December, I was on maternity leave since October, I started my job in Jan, he did not give my car back and wouldn't let me pay him back for the two months that I wasn't able to take care of the bill. He and my mother made me drive a car that had bad tags, a cop saw me drive that car 3 times and told me if i drove it again he'd give me a ticket, my father had a truck at the time that was brand new, long story short, my father and mother never gave me my keys back to my car, they said they paid the bills but it got repoed and now i'm stuck with a $3700 bill and he says he's
My father cosigned on a car with me in 2004, I had the credit score he had the credit history, I got pregnant, went on maternity leave in October, lost my job, Got 5 job offers in December, father took the car and didn't give it back. In November I paid $790 for a tune up so the car was like brand new. Father made me drive a car that had bad tags and plates a cop saw me driving it and threatened to give me a ticket, mind you, my car was still working and my father had a brand new truck sitting in the driveway while he drove my car down, Long story short, parents told me they wouldn't give me my car back because they were paying on it, car got repoed- found out he called the company and told them not to send me any paper bills. Car got auctioned, stuck with a $3800 bill, step dad says he's not paying a cent! Should I sue for half because he's cosigner or whole thing, because I didn't know they weren't paying.

You need to find out exactly what happened when, write down a timeline and take it to Judge Judy-or someone involved in law or relist this question.
If you get the facts listed, leave out the part about you getting 5 job offers-that's niether here nor there. stick to the basics, dont get all involved with your story of hardship or his new truck in the driveway, you didn't have to drive a car with bad tags-no one made you...there are busses, friends with cars, taxi's...come on. And anyway, you didnt get a ticket-it has nothing to do with your 'case'.
If you really want to stir up some drama in your family, go ahead and try to sue him. Small claims court? He might not pay you either if he's such a liar and has your mom in on it. She doesn't sound like she has your best interest at heart.
Sorry your family is all about drama..sue the rat, you need to take care of yourself and your son.

You don't need to sue. If your father co-signed the note then he is fully responsible for payments if you fail to make them. Tell the car lot that you refuse to pay and if they bother you then you will file bankrupcy. They will go after your father for the full unpaid debt.
