Best Answer

A joint loan is when both individuals are fully responsible for a loan and it will report on both individual's credit bureau.

So if both individual don't make a payment or does not pay enough of the monthly payment it will report on both credit bureau files as a late payment.

Does your spouse have anything to do with a joint auto loan if she is not on the loan?

Your question is not well-defined. "Joint" with whom? If you and someone else (say, an ex-spouse) are joint signatories of an auto loan. then your current spouse doesn't really "have anything to do" with it. However, this is a very unlikely situation; normally this would have been resolved in divorce proceedings so that one or the other of you became responsible for the loan and the other person was taken off. Even if your spouse is not on the loan at all, unless you've got a pretty iron-clad prenuptial contract and have since followed up on keeping your finances distinct, it doesn't really matter in practical terms. If you're responsible for the loan, the creditor can go after any assets you have, even if they're joint assets with someone else (such as a joint checking account).
