dealership title obligations for primary loan holder
<p>My boyfriend thought he was co-signing for his sons car. Turns at they made him the primary loan holder but did not put him on the title.Does a car dealership have a legal obligation to put the primary loan holder on the title in Ohio?</p>

<p>No.  People buy cars for other people all the time.  The dealership has no obligation to figure out why your boyfriend was willing to accept a loan obligation for a car he did not own.</p>

<p>That said, this situation sounds about as shady as it can be.  If your boyfriend entered into a different relationship with the bank than he intended to, something went badly wrong.</p>
