If your name was added to your parent's credit card can you have the account removed from your credit report?
Only if you did not authorize it. Then your parents would be charged with credit card fraud.If your parents added you to their account as an authorized user, you are not liable for any balance, whether you charged on the card or not. Authorized users generally did not enter into a legal agreement with the creditor. That agreement only extends to the account holder.However, it is customary and usual for these accounts to show on consumer's credit report. There are numerous lawsuits and class action suits contesting the practice. The bureaus continue to do this because their primary client, the credit card companies, benefit if a frustrated or confused authorized user pays the account.Your situation is different if you were added as a co-borrower to the account. Like the co-signer on a car loan, you would be liable for the full amount of the loan or account.If you dispute any information on this account with the credit bureaus it will be deleted from your credit report. The credit bureau must delete Any account in which you are only an authorized user once information is disputed. I have done this myself accidentally.

Is an authorized user responsible for a deceased person's credit card bills?
An authorized user is never legally liable for any debt. Authorized users do not fit the definition of "debtor" under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, nor have they signed a contractual agreement obligating themselves to pay. However, if this authorized user is the beneficiary of the decedants' estate, THAT might make them liable for the unpaid bills. This would depend upon the status of any existing will, and (the applicable) state inheritance laws.
