You should report the theft immediately to the police and to the car owner's insurance company.
The cosigner on an automobile loan is not the person who has to pay for insurance on the vehicle. The registered owner should pay the fees for insurance. However, it is the cosigner's responsibility to make sure the registered owner is carrying insurance for the vehicle.
rport it stolen?? Who will take the report?? Barney Fife??? NO, cause its NOT stolen. The 'stolen" line is a sure sign of a LAZY repoman. Or an uneducated repoman who believes everything they hear. How can you "steal" your own car? The lender CANNOT report the vehicle stolen. You, as the registered owner, are the only one who can make that report to the police.
Call the police department of the city/town from which the vehicle was towed. Repo companies MUST report the license tag number of repossessed vehicles so that if the owner calls to report them stolen the police will not enter them into the stolen vehicle database.
No they can not because then the cosinger can report te car being stolen. YES YOU CAN AS LONG AS YOU ARE THE PRIMARY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE COSIGNER IS JUST A PERSON WHO HAS MADE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE BANK THAT IF FOR SOME REASON YOU SHOULD DEFAULT ON THE LOAN THE BANK CAN PURSUE THE COSIGNER. BECAUSE THE COSIGNER PRESUMABLY HAS BETTER CREDIT AND STRONGER WORK HISTORY, THUS THE ABILITY TO REPAY THE LOAN. OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO BE OF AGE AND FOLLOW ALL OF THE LAWS WHEN DRIVING.
The police will not take a stolen vehicle report if the automobile's owner handed the keys to the individual. It is a civil matter in this instance.
Only if you refinance the vehicle without the cosigner on the new loan.
not really sure on this one but in order for the lien holder to have the vehicle in his/her posssision it had to be repossesed... and then it was stolen while it was in their possession then i would say yes.. but other wise cant really see a reason why the owner would not be the person that reports it to be stolen..... if in fact the car owner is deleinquent in payment and the car is reported stolen and the car owner goes to jail that is false imprisonment and you can sue..
You can report it stolen but they wont do anything once they find out a co owner has the car. They cant steal a car they own.
You don't have to contact anyone. The lender will report information on the primary borrower, cosigner, joint owner, guarantor, and other relationships.
ya its your car, your name is on the title and someone has taken it from you....i think i defined a stolen vehicle right there
Assuming the stolen car was insured, the stolen cars insurance would be responsible. If the stolen car was not insured, the driver, if located would be responsible. If not located then the owner would probably be held responsible. Hopefully the struck vehicle is insured for "uninsured motorist" coverage. Filing the report after the accident would document the theft, but not neccesarily clear the owner of responsibility.
