What to do if a credit union will not honora court order?
I co-signed a car loan for my wife at the time we divorced. I also have a current car loan at the same credit union and have always paid my loan payments. The bankruptcy court gave me relief as co-signer but each month my car statement shows her car loan on my statement and shows the balance of her loan on my total debt there. What can I do?

if there is a court order discharging your obligation under the former obligation where you are still receiving monthly statements indicating your obligation on the loan, I would write the lender a letter certified mail, return receipt requested with a copy of the order of discharge of this debt requesting that you cease receiving these bills. Keep a copy of the letter for future reference.
If you continue to receive the invoices afterwards, you might want to consult with an attorney who practices consumer law where the continued sending of the statements to you for payment could be deemed an unfair debt collection practice under the laws of your state.
