Do I simply have to return the car and forfeit the down payment or is it a more complicated legal issue if the cosigner suddenly refuses to sign?

David F. Stoddard
Answered by attorney David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
The dealer should allow you to return the car and refund all or most of your down payment. However, depending on what paperwork was signed, they can make it harder. For example, if you signed a contract to purchase the car for xxx.xx dollars, they can take the position that you must come up with the money and it is your problem to obtain financing. Ultimately, I think you would prevail in court because they should not have let you take the car home without money in hand or financing in place. However, they may intimidate you and act as if you have to do as they say because they are more sophisticated in these matters. You do have some leverage. You have the car. You might tell them you do not know where it is and refuse to turn it in unless they undo the deal. Better yet, get a lawyer to help you.

Can debt collectors still try to garnish wages if I told them I filed for bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Alexzander C. J. Adams, PC
They can only garnish if you have not filed. If you actually filed, provide them the case number and they will go away. If you only told them you filed because you are planning to in the future, they can garnish until the case is filed.
