My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Missouri
My wife and I got married a few years ago and shortly thereafter I paid off some medical collections she had. Right after that the collections showed up as joint accounts on my credit report as well as hers. I disputed this with the credit agency, but they verified that it was valid. I complained to the collections agency at the hospital and they said it was legally both our responsibility because we were married. Is there any way to get this off my credit report?
Not sure if it matters, but legally my wife and I have separate addresses.
