Is your name on the bills? If you did not sign anything to be liable for the bills, then you are not responsible. Only the party that enter into the contract is liable for the debt. This means if your spouse is the only one named on the bills that you do not have to pay. A collection agency may tell you that you are liable even if you are not. Learn your rights under the FDCPA.
