If the parent was a co-signer that means that both people have put their names on the car so it should contribute to the credit of both parties. It may take 30-90 days for the credit bureau to report it however. If it is not being reported on the child's credit it could be that the bank that financed it only reports on the main holders credit. You can find that out by calling your financing company's customer service line. Sometimes you can simply request that they report it if they are not already, but most of the time they will not start if they have not been previously. You can not transfer credit from one person to another. If they have not been receiving credit for it while the car was being paid for they will never be able to. That just isn't how it works. Sorry.
