No. Arkansas is not a community property state. Therefore the debt belongs solely to the account holder. The spouse is in no way obligated to pay the debt or confer with collectors unless they so choose.

Are you listed on the credit card account as a joint owner? If so, you are legally liable for it. If you are not listed on the account, you are not legally liable for it. Some sneaky collection agencies will try to make pay by telling you that you must pay, so beware. You can learn more about your rights in debt collection by reading up on the FDCPA.

My checking and savings account have been frozen by a credit card company. My husband's name is not on this debt but we have a joint checking account. Can they take all of our money?

It depends on the laws of your jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of your situation. Credit card companies typically have the right to freeze accounts and seek payment for outstanding debts. However, if your husband is not personally liable for the debt and the funds in your joint account are solely his, you may have grounds to challenge the freeze. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and options in this matter.
