I went with my daughters mother to New York to purchase a car she saw online (09 nissan murano). She was told her credit was bad and she need a cosigner so I co-signed the car for her. Recently she purchased a new car and was going to give the car back to the bank (09 nissan murano) when I learned I was the primary holder for this loan when I should be a co-signer. I contacted the bank and let them know I have possession of this vehicle now. The thing is if I was the primary why was the car in my daughters mother name. I learned the car is always in the name of the primary. But to this day the car was never titled and registered to me it was in her name. I read a few minutes ago about the straw purchase scam and would like to know what I can do about this because I basically had this car just dropped on me. I never had ownership or possession of this car, it was not in my name and the bank never dealt with me about this car or payments until I stopped her from returning the car because I didn't want my credit affected. I live in Pennsylvania but the car was purchased in New York. Thank you for any feed back.
