If you are a joint account holder you can still use the card. The creditor should be notified of the death of the other account holder.

If this relates to a joint account holder or cosigner, then yes the person's credit rating will be affected by a repossession.

If a credit card holder dies who will be responsible for paying debts on cards?
If the cardholder has an estate, the credit card company can pursue that. In practice they don't really do that. If the account is a joint account, the other account holder becomes wholly responsible for the debt. Otherwise the bank eats the money.
