No, not if the accounts are separate. Married couples credit ratings are only affected equally when the account is held jointly.

Will a foreclosure from someone's past affect their spouse's credit?

I hate to sound like a lawyer, but it depends. If you have separate credit reporting accounts, it may affect the wife's credit slightly. If there is only a joint credit account, yes, it will affect the wife's credit the same as the husband's. You can ask the 3 major credit reporting agencies (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax) to separate out your credit histories. If the foreclosure has already started, it may be too late. Get a free credit report from each (once each year) at www.annualcreditreport.com.


If a mortgage payment is 20 days late will that be reported to the credit bureaus?

Generally, late payments over 30 days late are reported to a credit reporting agency. After that, late mortgage payments can become "missed" mortgage payments. And missed payments can affect your credit score in a negative way. However, your exact late payment will depend on how your specific mortgage lender reports payments to the credit bureaus.

If you marry someone in chapter 13 can you be affected?

Unless you separate your credit reports, or keep them separate, you will get the credit score of your husband. Your joint income will be affected by his having to make the plan payments, and the Chapter 13 Trustee may want to know how much your income contributes to his expenses (if you now share utility costs, for example), although that is not likely.

Can adding a second card holder to your credit account affect your credit score?

Not if you are responsible for all of the loans or credit card payments on your credit report. But, if the second card holder is responsible for any payments on your cards, and doesn't make them, then it can cause your score to lower.
