What are the rights of a cosigner when the primary filed bankruptcy then didnt pay the bankruptcy so the bankruptcy was dismissed?

As a cosigner, you are not at all protected if the primary signer files for bankruptcy. In many cases, filing for bankruptcy relieves the primary signer on the loan from his obligations towards the loan, at which point the lender will turn to the cosigner for payment. You'll either have to pay the loan or file for your own bankruptcy (if necessary).Unfortunately, you're stuck with the loan regardless of whether or not the primary signer successfully completes his bankruptcy filling. You may want to contact a bankruptcy lawyer for some additional advice or assistance.

You have the right to receive notice of the 341 meeting (first meeting of creditors) and the right to attend that meeting and ask the debtor any questions relating to the bankruptcy or to your claim if you believe you might be entitled to avoid a discharge or if you believe the debtor is committing fraud by hiding, failing to disclose or has transferred assets prior to filing. Keep in mind that such assets go to the trustee to pay him/her and then for any costs on acquiring those assets for the estate and the the balance gets distributed pro rata to all the unsecured creditors.
