If a credit card debt is only yours and it is not paid can they take your husband's property or property in both of your names or levy your Joint bank account in PA?

The only way a debt collector can garnish your wages is if you owe Tax liens, or child support. Other then that, it is not possible for them to do this legally. If you are the only one responsible for this debt, and your husband is not the co-signer, then he is not responsible for this debt. The worst thing that will happen is that you receive phone calls daily from a collection company requesting a payment. If you need further instructions, feel free to read the other articles that I have answered pertaining to this.
Good luck!!
