If it is debt, you must pay it, no matter how long you put it off.
Yes because he is responsible for the debt, not you.
Contact the credit card company and explain your circumstances. Whatever the problem, you are 100% responsible for the debt that person has incurred. Cancel their credit card (should have been done immediately) and pay off their debt! If you are fortunate enough to have your own credit cards after all this and have a good credit rating and you are paying off this person's debt then your credit rating will not be altered in any way. DON'T COSIGN FOR ANYONE! Marcy
in order to incrase your credit higher, your expense has be higher as well. meaning, if you have a credit card you are not using. then your credit card company doesn't report your credit to credit bureau.. your expense and debt ratio will determine your credit score...
Credit card interest rates often depend on previous credit rating and type of purchases. A basic card that is used for purchases online or at stores has an interest rate currently of approximately 11%. Five years ago in 2008, the average interest rate was 13%.
This will depend on the statute of limitations in your state but there are also other factors that will determine whether or not they can as well. The statute of limitations for your state is dependent on when the last time you made a payment or used the card. So, if you made a payment two years ago on the debt but it's been fourteen years since the last item was charged on your card you only have two years towards the statute of limitations not fourteen. Often, credit card company collection agencies will tell you that they will sue you even if the debt has passed the statute of limitations in order to try to collect on outdated debt. After the statute has passed the company has no legal right to collect it. Additionally, in most cases if the debt is more than 10 years old since the last payment had been made, it is not allowed to be on your credit report. Interestingly, if your states statute of limitations is five years, it can still be posted to your credit report until the 10 years has fully elapsed.

Most likely the credit card company wrote off the debt. However it will show on your credit as a write off, and your credit is still negatively affected by this. You did not receive a get out of jail free card.
The lien is probably still in place, and the fact that it was filed is still on your credit file.

Only if it is a judgement. If they never sued you, then after 7 years, it will come off of your credit report, and you are no longer liable for the debt.

A consumer's responsibility for a debt is a separate issue than credit reporting. If you owed a debt 5 or 6 years ago, and never paid it, you still owe it. There is a statute of limitations for how long a debt can be collected, another for how long a consumer can be sued over a debt and another for how long a debt can show on your credit report.
