If you cosign an auto loan for someone and they refinance in one year and remove you from the loan how will that affect your credit assuming all payments are made on time?
The cosigner's credit isn't affected one ioto unless the person who was responsible for the loan payments defaulted, then and if the cosigner also defaulted. In other words, just being a cosigner does not affect ones credit ratings.

Will a cosigner's credit be affected if they cosign for someone who has a bad credit score because of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
The cosigner's credit will only be affected if the person that they cosign for defaults on the loan. The bankruptcy will not affect the cosigners credit.

A cosigner cannot simply remove their name from the contract. The cosigner is obligated equally with the primary borrower until the loan is paid. A cosigner's credit history will be affected, hopefully in a positive way.
If the cosigner on a car loan files bankruptcy what will happen to the other persons credit?
The creditor will seek repayment of the car loan from the cosigner. As long as the cosigner pays, their credit will not be affected. However, if they are unable or unwilling to pay, the debt will be pursued like any other bad debt, and it will affect their credit rating.
How can a cosigner's name get taken off a student loan if the money was not used for school and he has no idea how or where it was used?
They can't. Once someone consigns for any type of financial transaction, they are basically stuck for the duration. Their credit is equally affected if the lending terms are defaulted. Creditors have the legal right to pursue any actions as provided by the resident's state laws against the primary borrower and the cosigner.
