Can a bank report a repossession on a credit report when the local dealer co-signer was the one that repossessed the vehicle and paid the bank in full?

lets get the FACTS straight. Heres what I'm seeing. A(person) buys car from (dealer) D.D "co-signs" the loan. A defaults on loan and D repos the car. B(bank)reports repo on A CR. Simple. A had loan in default, got repoed. Repo goes on CR because it happened. WHO did the repo is immaterial. Repo doesnt go on D because D "PIF".

Is the cosigner of a vehicle liable if the it gets repossessed?
Yes. That is the point of the lender asking for a cosigner. The cosigner will have a repossession showing on their credit as well as the primary lender.
As a cosigner can you have a vehicle repossessed without affecting the cosigner credit rating?
Nope.
Can you remove a repossession off your credit report if your cosigner has a judgment on the repossession?
No you cannot remove a repossession off your credit report if your cosigner has a judgement on the repossession.
If your car was repossessed but redeemed by the cosigner can the bank report a repossession on your credit but not on the cosigner's?
VERY possible. reporting repos is up to the LENDER(of course, they usually do). It was very much repoed from you sooo. Nothing you can do about the co-signor having or not having a repo on their credit.
If you cosigned for a car and it got repossessed voluntarily what will it do to your credit and will you owe?
Whether a repossession is done "voluntarily" by the primary or through the action of the lender, the primary borrower and the cosigner are still legally responsible for all the terms of the lending agreement. The affect the repossession has on the cosigner's credit history will depend upon the actions of the lender to recover the debt owed.
How bad does it affect the cosigner's credit if the borrower has the car voluntarily repossessed?
It has the same effect on the credit.
Can a credit report show settlement then repossession on the same vehicle?
A credit report is a record of all transations on a reported account. In the life of a vehicle loan, many things can happen. Over the typical four to five years, the vehicle may have been repossessed and then redeemed and paid off. In these cases, yes, repossession and settlement can show on the same vehicle, on the same credit report.
Can you be sued over the balance of a vehicle that has been voluntarily repossessed over three years ago when the repossession is on your credit report?
yes it has a 10 year limit
If your car has your mothers and your name on the title but she is deceased how does this affect you if it is repossessed?
Goes on your credit as a repossession.
What happens to a cosigner of a car loan when the primary loan holder files bankruptcy and the loan is discharged and they do a voluntary repossession?
They can still come after the cosigner, and it will still reflect poorly on your cosigner's credit history. You have been absolved of the debt, not your cosigner.
How can a car repossession be on your credit report when your car was not repossessed?
By mistake. Waste no time contacting the credit reporting companies, and demand that this entry be removed from your credit report.
What can be done to you in Florida if you are the cosigner on a vehicle that is up for repossession but your husband is in possession of the vehicle and they cannot find it?
They will come to you for the money if they can't find him. It will be on your credit as a repo as well. As a co-signer, you sign that you will take over payments if the signer fails to make the payments.
