Husband and I separated then I filed for divorce 6 months after that. Obviously we had credit card debt together but, when we separated it was minimal less than 7k. He was ordered to pay those bills and he (not I) continued to charge up a much larger bill (on his girlfriend or what else, I'm not sure). Now he is unemployed, not making payments and collection agency is threating me with a lawsuit as the co-signer. What does this mean for me? I told credit card company that if they could provide me with a statement balance as of the date we separated and beyond, that I could try and work with them. They told me that they could send the past years statements for free but any statements older than that there would be a fee. I agreed to pay the fee. Get this...they couldn't accept a payment from me, they could only bill the credit card directly. Then to top it all off, they can only send the copies of the statements to my ex's address, not to me.
So today, the collector,s last words to me were....you'd better get an attorney immediately. What can they do to me? Can they take my car that is paid for? Freeze mine and my mom's joint checking account? I am just starting a home based business as an owner operator, what can happen to me?
