QUESTION
I live in Florida, Hillsborough County and I'm trying to figure out what kind of Attorney I need.
Asked on Apr 01st, 2014 on Debtor and Creditor - Florida
More details to this question:
A quick summary of the issue: I co-signed on a car, ex girlfriend is primary, we broke up, and she stopped making payments. I've given the bank any info I can on her, her friends, family, where I think the car may be, where she is. They finally got a hold of her Friday and she has told the bank that she has the car hidden in a friend's garage and she refuses to give it back because she doesn't want me to have ownership. (I had told the bank if they can repo it from her I will work with them and pay the past due amount and take over payments.) At this point the car is going to be charged off, she is out of state in New York and may not be back for months. I want to try and defend myself and if possible have this not harm my credit. Thank you for anyone who can give me some direction on this matter. If you need any more information about the details let me know.

Hate to say it ...but...not gonna happen. As a co-signor, you agreed to be fully responsible for the debt, not to point the bank in the right direction and say" go get em tiger". If you want your credit to be safe, YOU need to get with the bank, get the loan caught up and keep payments current until YOU can sue your ex for the money back, ....if she has it.
