Best Answer

Not unless he is on the account and it is part of the agreement with the bank, and even in that case, the bank would issue an additional card for him and any other authorized users.

Per credit card company rules, the person who signed the back of the card is the only person allowed to use it, and if the signature on the back of the card doesn't match the signature on the charge draft, then an ID check is triggered and the retailer has to verify that the person presenting the card is the person named on the card. It has to be that person, not their husband/wife/etc. If the husband/wife is an authorized user on the wife/husband's account, the credit card issuer would issue an additional card for that authorized user.

Can a spouse continue to use a credit card of deceased husband?

No. She must get a credit card in her own name since the guarantor on the account is deceased.


If the husband owns the credit card and adds his wife to the card and he opens another credit account against that credit card does that affect her credit score?

If the husband adds the wife as a "joint" it will show on her credit report but will most likely not be counted against her if she tried to apply for a loan. If the husband adds the wife as an "authorized user" it will not even show on her credit report because she has no legal obligation to pay the credit card bills, but she has the right to use the card.

What can you do if you report to a credit card company that your husband took a credit card out in your name and you reported it to them and they did nothing?

If you are married, your husband can definitely apply for a credit card in your name. This is commonly done. Some husbands make their wives as supplement to their credit cards or apply for a separate card. So, the credit card company may not find anything wrong with what your husband did. Not unless, you and your husband are having problems, then if you have a case, better report it first to the proper authority before you approach the credit card company with your complaint or case.
