Can I take legal action against my ex-girlfriend, her attorney or her financial institution if I was never informed of her bankruptcy and I’m a co-signer on her car loan?
I am on the title as well as a cosigner on a vehicle she has. She filed bankruptcy (consolidation) and I was never informed nor was I ever informed of late payments and it destroyed my credit. I would have made payments if I knew payments were going to be late to protect myself.

I suggest that you consult with a bankruptcy attorney in your locality as to your options in making a claim against your "ex" for potential fraud with respect to the car loan that you signed onto. Such an attorney can be found on attorneypages.com.
Potentially you may have run the time to submit any claim against her.
