Only the people who SIGN the agreement with the credit company can be held responsible for the debts incurred on that agreement. If that isn't your signature on the agreement....you have no obligation and they can not pursue it in any way, shape or form! Not as simple as the above. Using a card for credit that isn't yours to buy things you don't agree to pay for is not legal...it is criminal. Just using the card is evidence you wanted the credit. Ageeably, maybe sme Q about the terms, but the law does not approve of one party benefitting by getting things it doesn't have to take responsibility for. And as giving an active card without having a signed agreement is the same as just giving out money for free and no reason, which banks really don't do, if you don't believe you agreed to the credit agreement...you better be prepared to help prove there was fraud by someone to get it....of course, even then...if YOU used the card and benefited by what was bought...that fraud (identity theft) would be hard to prove....it would seem much more likely you agreed with the extension of credit by using the card...if you didn't and you used the card...then you committed fraud!

If you use a debt counseling service that consolidates your debt for you can you still make payments to your credit card company directly?

When you use a debt counseling service that consolidates your debt for you, you are supposed to make one monthly payment to the credit counseling company instead of paying your credit card companies individually. However, if you come into some extra money and you want to make an extra payment directly to the credit card company, you may need to do some research. Once you sign a contract with your credit counseling company you'll need to abide by the terms of that agreement. Many credit counseling companies want all payments made to your credit cards to go through them. This will mean that you will need to send the extra money to the credit counseling service rather than directly to your credit card company. Another thing to think about is if you do send the funds to the credit counseling service, you might not have any control over which credit card they apply it to. You can tell them where you would like it applied, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's where they have to apply it.
