Not enough information. What kind of account? What are the institutions, or the lenders rules regarding this? Was it done with criminal intent?
Pay off the balance and close the account. Then reopen a new account with only the primary holder.
Usually, a new card is issued in the primary card holder's name. Usually both parties on a credit card have to sign off to eliminate the secondary card holder. Your credit card holder can help you with this.
Primary account holder is the person on whose name the bank account is created in the first place. Ex: Assuming you have a bank account and then once you get married you would include your spouse as a joint account holder. you will be the primary account holder and your spouse would be the secondary holder.
The major difference is that the Primary Account holder is responsible for all the amounts due on both the Primary Card and the Secondary Card.
Depends on what "Type" of Credit Holder you are. Here is how that will go: If you are what is known as an authorized user on the account. (i.e. - The Primary account holder has given you permission to make charges on the account), the answer is No. The primary account holder is responsible for any charges he/she has allowed you to make on the account. If you are a Secondary account holder (i.e. -your name was put on the account APPLICATION at the time the card was applied for), then your answer is YES. If the Primary account holder defaults on the account, then the credit card company will turn to try and collect from the Secondary account holder. BEWARE of becoming a secondary holder on anything that has to do with credit. If you know that the Primary holder may default, you could get stuck with a huge amount of debt on your hands, and if you can't pay, your nice credit score of 783 could very quickly go down the drain to 535 or lower.
It depends if the secondary card holder is a "Joint Account Member" or a "Authorized User". The joint account member is responsible for the balance, the authorized user is not.
Any account that carries a balance that is owed by both parties will not go away when one party takes their name off an account. That will not work that way with the lender.
The benefits of having a secondary card holder on a charge account are mostly to the secondary card holder. This person can use the account, but it is the primary person that must pay the bill. Having a secondary person on an account is helpful for providing a credit card in their own names to students and spouses.
No unless the primary gives the secondary permission too
hey
In all cases that I am aware of, the secondary account holder's purchases will show on primary card member's monthly statement. You can call the information number for the card issuer (usually on the back of the credit card) and ask how your purchases would be handled.
Yes, but they will charge more for the new phone and extend the contract.
