    Auto finance is what I do for a living and if I understand this correctly, you purchased a car in your name only for someone else and now they can't make the payments correct?

    If this is what happened it's simple. It's your car, your loan and your responsibility to make the payments period.

    Good luck.

    If you are the primary or a co-signer and she can't pay, then it becomes your responsibility to pay.

    The kicker is that if you are only a co-signer, then you have zero rights to the vehicle your friend is driving.

    Yes, co-signing is a very dangerous game and when you decide to do it, there is no way you can win.

    Friendships are destroyed all of the time over situations like this, which is why you could never lend money to a friend and expect repayment and you should never co-sign unless you can accept the fact that you may pay for a car you will never own.

    The other alternative is not paying and having your credit destroyed.

    Who's name is on the title? If yours (along with the lien holder), you take the car back and pay off the loan.

    Her's? You are a co-signer with no rights to repossess the car. The lender retains that right. You will be held responsible for paying the debt.

    Congratulations on paying off the vehicle! i'd recommend that you take advantage of the freed up price to pay down some thing of your costs. it really is fantastically puzzling to conquer the go back on funding even as paying off costs. as an social gathering, once you've a mastercard debt at 18% - paying that off would in truth furnish you with an 18% go back. procuring yet another vehicle would truly help the self photo slightly, yet maximum people locate that the benefits are restricted, and rapidly run out even as nevertheless procuring the photo strengthen years down the line. From an funding perspective a vehicle is a foul thanks to move. once you force it off of the dealership floor you'll lose a small fortune. through the time you get it paid off, it would properly be properly worth below a million/10th of what you paid. in case you opt for to make investments the month-to-month price that you in common words freed up, i'd recommend an employers 401k or an IRA. enable's say that your unique price replaced into $three hundred in line with month. in case you invested your $three hundred in line with month for the subsequent 2 many years at an 8% go back, you'll have about $176,706.00. The compounding basically keeps getting more advantageous the longer you retain... in case you retain for 30 years @ 8% you'll have about: 447,107.00. i'm hoping that enables. good success!

    Well guess what...she doesn't exist as far as the lender is concerned. It is YOUR loan and your responsibility to pay it. or suffer the consequences

    Stupidity often carries a high price.

    You could pay for it yourself if you have the spare cash and want to, or get it back from her and take it back to the dealership. A voluntary return is a lot better than it being repossessed.

    Get that car back from her ASAP. Sell it and hopefully you can come out OK. You are the bank now, Reposes.
