More details to this question:
Hi. Recently the co-signer (my cousin) took my car and both sets of keys. She is refusing to give my car back. I've never missed a payment and I also pay the insurance. In total I have paid $10,000 on my car, I have had to quit both of my jobs. I work an hour away from Cookeville, TN. in Nashville. She will not call me back and told me she would call the police if I showed up at her home. The home I grew up in. I need some advice. Can you help?

Being a cosigner on the car does not entitle her to possession of the car. Right to possession is determine by the TITLE to the car. If she is not listed on the title and it is only you on the title, then she has no right to possess the car and she has stolen your car. If you are both on the title, then each of you has an equal right to possession of the car. If she is the only one on the title, then she has a right to possession.
