addendum to question: want to know same thing because mbna is insisting my ex boyfriend is a co-signer and i know for sure he was an additional card holder. my bad debt is screwing up his credit and i went through official channels, filed required paperwork and can't get his name released from the debt. I asked for proof that he was a co-signer and they said their records don't go back that far. Then, I win, right?

Think about this for a minute. If he was just an additional card holder then if my company which is in the top "500" goes broke [they gave me the card I didn't want it]then I will have to pay their bill!!! I don't think so. Have an attorney write them a letter his name will disappear before the ink is dry.

There is a difference in additional card holder and an authorized user when it pertains to personal accounts. If in the original agreement that was made it notes that an additional card holder will be designated a joint account holder, the creditor can report account activity on the person's credit report and hold said person responsible for debt repayment. Authorized user's are not responsible for the debt, but some creditors will still take (and can legally take) said person to court to try to recover money owed.
