Depends on your state laws. Check with a local attorney. I would think the worst they could do is attach the assets so that when you go to sell, they get paid first.

Wendy, once a lender runs your SS#, the judgment will show up. Its possible you might still get the loan but at a much higher interest rate. That higher interest rate will cost you much more than 6K over 30 yrs. It would be much cheaper to offer 3K CASH to settle the Jeep deal and get it over with. Why not offer $2500 CASH to the lender to release you from the judgment??

Depends on how old it is. From your info about 5 years ago? If so, I would go ahead and get the loan together and when it falls off do a refinance and that will establish a record of on time paying and will get you that lower rate. But remember if some one calls asking for you, maybe by your old name, do not acknowldge it is you because when it get close to the statute of limitations date, usually 7 years, they will try to find you. If you say it you and confirm the unpaid loan, this will start a new 7 years to collect the debt, even though it off you credit report.

Oops, I was wrong on the years for SOL, here mis an excellent link.

If the husband owns the credit card and adds his wife to the card and he opens another credit account against that credit card does that affect her credit score?

If the husband adds the wife as a "joint" it will show on her credit report but will most likely not be counted against her if she tried to apply for a loan. If the husband adds the wife as an "authorized user" it will not even show on her credit report because she has no legal obligation to pay the credit card bills, but she has the right to use the card.
