The divorce is of no consequence. If your spouse and their ex opened joint accounts while they were married, they are jointly liable for those accounts and both credit reports will reflect the history. A divorce never supercedes any other contract.

Contact the credit beau's by phone or postal mail. Ask for the individual's name to be removed from current co- applicant / spouse section of your report if applicable. Your ex spouse's name will still remain on joint accounts until they are no longer being reported by the creditors. If you look at your report locate the date credit will continue to show on your report and that is how long your co-applicant will remain on your credit. Ex: John Doe, creditor, joint account. With Experian it may say the name of the other person who holds the joint account. Ask which creditor's may still be reporting it as such and contacted them. Check your credit regularly and look to see that spouse is not later added back on my mistake.
You don't have to contact anyone. The lender will report information on the primary borrower, cosigner, joint owner, guarantor, and other relationships.
