Can your credit score be effected when you remove yourself from a credit card as an authorized user If so what is the best way to remove yourself as an authorized user?

Your score will only be affected if the account is past due/derogatory. Otherwise you may see an increase in your score due to debt/income ratio becoming smaller.
WHAT!?! to whomever answered this. An authorized user can use the account/card. They can also make payments to the account, but they are not required to make payments. These are the only things they can do. That being said, The Primary account holder is the responsible party. Anything that goes wrong or right with the account gets reported to the Primary's Credit and only the Primary's credit. Removing yourself as an authorized user, regardless of the status of the account, has NO effect on your credit score.

If you have joint credit cards with a spouse who is running them up can you remove yourself from the cards and only be liable for what was on the card prior to removing yourself?
The person who is the Primary credit card holder is responsible for ALL the debt acquired on a credit card. If you are 50% / 50% on a credit card (rare), then you will be 50% responsible for any and all debt no matter when you stop using the credit card. Acquire the credit card in question, destory both by cutting/shredding and then cancel the card. IF your partner is the PRIMARY account holder then you MAY NOT WANT to destroy the card. You may be able to request from the credit card company to remove yourself BUT if that fails to be successful, then maybe the unknown loss of both cards would be a welcome calamity.

How do you remove late payments from a credit report?
Credit bureaus and the original creditors have the power to remove late payments. You can contact the original creditor that posted the late payment and ask for them to remove it.

You can do this yourself or hire credit repair company to do it for you.

Is it illegal for a credit repair lawyer to take bad credit off of your credit record?
The credit repair industry is regulated by the Credit Repair Organizations Act, which is an amendment/addition to the Consumer Credit Protection Act. There are many activies which are illegal under this statute. Why not read the text yourself at http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/croa/croa.htm It is always best to have an understanding of the laws yourself than to rely on someone else's opinion. NO it is NOT illegal to remove accurate information form ones credit file- if you read the NEW Fair credit and reporting act it clearly states " a credit reporting agency is not required to remove accurate information from a consumers file.." Notice it doesnt not say "CANT". it says "not required"
