Re: [Help] Dealership Cosigning????
They are not a buyer just a cosigner so have no interest in the car. They are not co-buying the car just guaranteeing the loan with the bank if you default and the bank can not collect from you.
From what has been said and how it has been said and semi lack of knowledge sounds as if someone may be trying to buy to much vehicle. Living beyond their means. May be wrong just a guess. |

Agreed. It also seems like "customer" (you perhaps?) wrote checks knowing they did not have funds available. That's illegal, too. |

To put it in the simplest terms possible it doesn't matter what kind of agreement you make, once you put the pen to the check and you do not have the funds to cover said check you are breaking the law.

We have done this many times in the past at other dealerships without any issues. They just would not allow us to post-date the checks, but agree'd not to cash them until the date agreed upon.
Besides, there was enough money in the checking account to cover both checks (less $50 or so) but that money was reserved for bills so when all the bills started coming out of the checking account, overdraft fee's were assessed.
FYI. This isn't my car. It's my mom's.
The letter from the bank also clearly states that we have 10 days to return the car or to renegotite the contract with the dealership, but the way this place has been, I have a feeling they are going to give us hell as they already sold the trade in. Idiots. |

Bought my '04 F-150 brand new and it was a wonderful experience.

She's done bankrupcy twice, once in the 1980's and again in 2005 or something. She refuses to go to a buy here pay here place as she wanted a "new" car. Bankrupcy never distroyed her life... In fact, she was recently approved for a home mortage, she just has to have proof that she has been making good rent payments for a year. |

If she declared bankruptcy a few years ago there is a good reason why she is having so many issues. She doesn't NEED a new car, history would show she gets in over her head.
As for the home mortgage, that means squat. Just about anyone can be approved for a mortgage. I would hate to see the terms she was approved at.
Tell her to keep her current automobile as 3 years out of a bankruptcy she doesn't NEED a new car. |

In the USA,
- Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 4 Section 401(c) states that a Bank can pay a post-dated check, unless they have agreed to accept written notice from the Customer not to do so.
IMO It isn't "illegal" to write a post-dated check, though perhaps your bank would like you to think so. It's illegal to write a check you don't intend to honor.
Say I give my landlord a rent check on the 20th, dated the 1st of the month, because I will be out of town between those dates, and don't get paid until the 30th. He agrees not to deposit the check until the 1st. My intent is to pay my rent on time with a good check. If he deposits it before the 1st anyway, then technically he has violated our agreement (verbal contract); but no court will likely hear a verbal contract dispute. |

That is what she did do at first, however, they told her they cannot take post-dated checked and I had to run up there and drop the checks off for her. |

Actually not true. Call your bank and ask them. The answer will more then likely be "we don't check dates" or "you should not write post dated checks".
