What if you didn't get a notice about the repossession as the cosigner which in turn deprived you of the opportunity to pay the account?

What if, as in what can you do about it now? The bank is only required to send notice to the address listed as the billing mail box, so you have no specific recourse against the bank, unless your state has a specific law regarding otherwise. (Consult an Attorney)
If the vehicle has NOT been sold at auction, you may be able to negotiate to pay for the car's return, however you should be careful about paying up the back monies owned without the car and keys in your immediate presence. Some banks have been known to demand back due funds, collect the money and still not relinquish the car to the other signer.
You may have to pay the remaining balance after auction to clear the debt but the repossession will likely remain on your credit report.
If you believe the bank failed to give proper notice of payment default, contact an attorney to determine the best course of action in your state.

The way that can be accomplished is determined by the terms of the lending agreement. Very few, if any lending institutions would allow an account to be amended.

The primary holder can then open another account on there own or with another cosigner.

Does having a cosigner help your credit?
Yes, having a cosigner on a loan or line of credit/ credit card can help your credit. It can help because, assuming they have good credit, you are more likely to get approved, which gives you a chance to build your credit. The danger is if the cosigner where to default on payments or abuse the account (such as using a credit card you both are signers on to rack up a lot of debt). So if you pick your cosigner carefully it can help you- but remember what you do on the account effects their credit, so make sure you are also responsible with the account.
If one files bankruptcy and has a co-signer will if affect their credit rating?

What happens to the co-signer if a car is repossessed?
The debt and repossession will become part of the co-signor's credit record. The co-signer of any loan has the same financial obligations and liabilities as the primary borrower. They can be sued and have their wages garnished or bank account frozen. The co-signor has the same responsibilities as the signor. Since the cosigner generally has a better financial situation than the borrower, debt collectors tend to target the cosigner with aggressive debt collection strategies. This can include frequent telephone calls, letters, threats of legal action and damaging the cosigner's credit report as well as the borrower's.
What if primary account holder dies and there is a cosigner?
The co-signer will be required to pay off the debt. That's what they agreed to when they co-signed so that the primary could get the account.
Can the cosigner remove her name from a loan if the the account was taken to court and judgment was only made against the primary account holder and not the cosigner?
Generally, the co-signerdoes not have any authority or means to remove their name from a loan. That would involve altering the loan documents and the lender's records. The loan is owned by the lender.
How much is a repo fee from gm?
Repossession fees are variable for all auto lenders. Repossession fees are real costs that are accrued in the repossession of a vehicle, or based on these costs. Fuel, number of visits, wages, insurance, etc. are all taken into account. So the repossession fee on one vehicle may be vastly different, greater or less, than the fees on another.
