Q: Our co-signer took our truck from work. We are not in default on payment
What are our rights?
A: You asked this question some time ago so perhaps you've already found the answer. The answer to your question depends somewhat on whether the co-signer also had a property interest in the vehicle (i.e., was his name also on the title?). If he is a co-owner then he may have equal rights to possession of the vehicle. If however he's just a co-signor and you are current with your payments I don't see why he would have any legal right to take your vehicle. You should consult with a local attorney if you still need assistance having the vehicle returned.
