The debt may be your responsibility, everything is shared on a joint account. Even if you weren't the one who incurred the debt, if for some reason the other party can't meet their obligations (financial hardship, disappeared overseas, or died, for example) then you'll be liable for it instead.

If a bank account of mine has been frozen for debt collection can you open a new account in a different state without it being frozen?

Typically any bank account you open will have your social security number on it, which is how your debts are listed, which is how any new account you open will be frozen also. It doesn't matter where you are (at least in the US), it will happen, especially if it is a debt to the IRS. You may want to talk to an attorney if you need to open an account.


Can both your wife and you to have a joint PayPal account?

No, you cannot. Having a joint Paypal account is a violation of Paypal's TOS. I had an account for about a year with both mine and my wife's name on it. At some point, Paypal noticed and locked my account. Everything was frozen. I couldn't send money, withdraw, etc. I needed to jump through a bunch of hoops, faxing documents including my SS card, a utility bill, etc. to prove my identity and they told me the problem was the joint status on the account. After everything, it took about a week for everything to be resolved and they removed my wife's name from the account.

What can you do if your wife opened credit cards without your consent?

A friend of mine faced this before. he closed the joint bank account and opened one in his name only. canceled the credit cards and placed an AD in the classifieds that he was responsible for his debts only.The wife can get credit on her own and if she fails to pay the bill the husband can still be held responsible for the debt. Good Luck.

If a debt is purchased by a debt collector how do you find out how much they paid for the debt Is that information public knowledge?

On answerThere is no way of finding out. Debt collectors buy debts in bundles not single bills.....hoards of them at once so to single out how much each bill was isn't possible - although I would say nearly HALF the original debt!More inputAbout 1 year ago, I was planning to open a collection company along with a friend of mine who owns a law firm.As per my analysis, the debt buyers buy debt at the following ratio $1000:$1Which means, they pay $1 for $1000 worth of debt.:) Fantastic, isn't it.FYI..... The banks lose almost nothing, after selling this debt to debt buyers, they file this debt as bad debt and get a tax exempt. Not to forget, the majority of the debt is different types of fees combined together.The poor guy who suffers is the debtor. Harassing phone calls from collection companies, legal notices and what not. The debtor also has to pay tax on bad debt, declared by bank. This is my knowledge. Please read and follow at your own risk.

What does charged off account mean?

A charged off account means that the original creditor has given up on collecting the money from you so your credit account to a debt collection company.When a credit account has been charged off, that means that the original creditor, i.e. a bank or financier, has given up on collecting the money to you, so they sell the debt to a debt collection company for so much on the dollar.So they lose very little money, and then the debt collection company is responsible for collecting that debt from you by whatever means necessary. Be forewarned, once a debt is charged off, expect to get alot of phone calls at all times of the day starting at 7 a.m. until 9 or 10 p.m. Get's very annoying. And they will try to obviously to get you to pay the debt off in full. All phone calls are recorded and they are required to tell you that this is an attempt to collect a debt. They will ask you for your address, telephone and all basic information. Then they will ask you to make a payment of some type. Don't ever give them your bank account number. A friend of mine made that mistake and they were supposed to take out a $35 dollar payment and took out over $1000. Which caused his bill checks to bounce and rent check. They are ruthless when it comes to collecting the debt. So be careful when dealing with it. But if at all possible. Save some money, and go to the debt collection company, contact them and offer them a cash offer of less than the wanted amount, sometimes as little as half, and they will except it, some money is better than none. Anyways. There you go.
