Should the creditor report the payments made by the cosigner after the borrower has filed bankruptcy to the credit bureau?
I'm really not sure the answer to your question. However, I'm in a similar situation and wonder if you could answer some questions I have. I will try to give a shot at answering your question though. Has the bankruptcy been discharged? Because if it hasn't the person is still under the protection of the automatic stay of the bankruptcy court and the creditor would not report during that timeframe. A suggestion, you may want to refinance the vehicle in your name and change the titling information to reflect just your name - so that the person could not come and get it.
