We lost a car yesterday

Nice to know that I'm not the only one with people that were in my life are now doing time in jail.

I can be added to the "peeps in my life in jail list too" .. mine's getting out in 2007, maybe. Just in time to be a real MILF at age 40.

Not by a longshot


That really sucks Jim, my woman's brother is in a similar shitty situation with his daughter's car (no jail involved though). He co-signed, she stopped making the payments, and because the car salesman was both an idiot and an asshole her name is the only one on the title. So, he has a paid off truck that he can't register or sell. I currently sits, quietly rusting, because Michigan law provides him no options other than to give it back to her, and she's strayed way too far from the pack for that to ever happen.

LOL Nope. Try a Dad for 7 years. lol

Jim seems strange, something is up with the bank. I would think they screwed up and my nervous ass would get to the bottom of it asap. Your sister is the CO-Signer so the car is 1/2 her responsibilty, if the bank saw this guy was in jail and the car had a co-owner then they would come after her for the payments. Now if you guys were paying it off then all would be cool cause it would look like your sister was just paying off a car she owns.
But being they took it back makes me think someone, someplace has paperwork fucked up. I would make some calls to protect mine and my sisters ass from a big bill. You know how these fuckers are, they take your car and it takes you 3 months to get it back then they tell you they want the 3 months worth of payments up front or it goes on your sisters credit.

Anyway hope everyone had a nice New Years. Just sat in the house with the wife..

I generally concur. Something is off here or there is something missing. If the payments were made on time and she was a co-signer, barring anything else in any agreements saying otherwise, she isn't really taking over payments but simply fulfilling the obligation. (Ownership between them- if they divorced, etc. would be another issue)

What is perhaps the worst of all here is that won't this get put down as a Reposession on here credit report? And I'm betting it probably won't even get put down as "voluntary repossion" either as is? That is not right! (she was meeting the obligations and fulfilling her responsibility) On top of that, theoretically if they sell the car for less than the outstanding balance, I beleive they can still make her pay whatever is left over between that.

This sounds like a matter for an attorney to me unless money and credit is no concern.

Add me to the list. My brother in law (who has worked 2 months out of the last year and ended up living in my house for six months playing Playstation all day without working except for 3 weeks... :mad: ) is going to be going in this month for probation violations. Thing is, I think my sister is better off without him! I hate to say that but it is true (alcoholic). I already helped bail him out once, but I'm *not* doing it again.
