What is the liability of a husband when his wife opens a credit card in his name without his knowledge?

A husband's liability on his wife's credit card account has no bearing on his knowledge of the account. His liability depends upon state law and whether they live in a state with community property statutes. Marital assets and debts belong to both partners under certain states laws. In other states, what is hers is hers and vice versa. This applies to both assets and debts. Even if this particular husband is not liable under the laws of their state; any purchase they attempted jointly in the future would be affected by the debt and the wife's pattern of usage and payment. If you are still married it probably wouldn't have any effect on your liability for debt incurred. If you reside in a community property state, all debts in marriage belong equally to both parties. In other words, not much can be done, unless you choose to charge your spouse with committing forgery/fraud. Your best option is to close the account.

There is no SOL for collection procedures, however state SOL's do apply to the time in which a lawsuit can be filed for debt recovery. If sued and the SOL applies it is the responsibility of the debtor/defendant to bring the issue to the attention of the court, a SOL defense is not "automatic".

If your parent added you to a credit card and was then late on payments does this have to remain on your credit report?

This depends on how you were "added". Were you allowed to use the card as an authorized user, or added to a joint account? In the first situation, it is typical for the bureaus to report the debt on your credit. But, technically, since you never signed a contract accepting liability for any debt, it is not "yours" and you could dispute this. If the latter situation applies to you, then you are jointly liable for the debt and it can show on your credit report for 7 years.

What type of insurance has a sir deductible?

SIR stands for self insured retention. It is a deductible applied to some liability policies. The term deductible is used for insurance that covers property losses, such as the insurance that would replace your house if it burned down. Retention is a term that refers to liability insurance, insurance that pays on your behalf if your negligance caused someone else to suffer a loss. Certain liability policies,such as umbrella policies and professional liability policies require the insured to, under certain circumstances, pay for part of the loss. The self insured retention is paid by the insured before the insurance company pays for the remainder of the loss. On umbrella liability policies the self insured retention applies to losses that are not covered by underlying, primary liability policies. On professional liability policies, the self insured retention applies to all losses, and is a way for the insured to lower their premiums by retaining the risk of losses up to a certain amount.
