| Feb 17, 2017 at 6:52 | comment | added | warren | @MartinBonner :: the credit card company viewed me as the only responsible party. Never had an issue while the arrangement lasted: but I suppose I could have filed suit against her had the need arisen. | |
| Feb 17, 2017 at 6:17 | comment | added | Martin Bonner supports Monica | @warren : Legally responsible to whom? I bet you could have sued her for any accrued debt - just the credit card company couldn't. | |
| Feb 16, 2017 at 20:24 | comment | added | warren | @MartinBonner - it may depend on your state. I know that when I added my sister years ago as an authorized user on my card (no longer the case), she was not legally responsible for the debt incurred, as the account was in my name alone. (states involved: NY & NC) | |
| Feb 16, 2017 at 10:25 | comment | added | Martin Bonner supports Monica | Actually, I think she will be legally responsible for the debt (if that is what the couple agree). The point though is the that CC company will sue the OP, it is then up to the OP to sue his (presumably ex-) girlfriend if he wants the money back. | |
