I believe only if you signed on the dotted line, most times the owner of the card has it in their name, and they send out those things to add someone to use your account, i believe if the bill is in your fathers name, you are not liable. If someone dies i don't believe any family member has to pay it, unless they signed something, just tell the credit card people they died, don't let them scare you into paying it!!!!!!!!
