How do you get your name off a credit card?

Answer 1

If you are the sole debtor (i.e., owner responsible for payment) on any credit card, then you cannot have your name removed, transferred, exchanged, etc, from the credit card. The best you can do is to cancel the card, but you would still be responsible to the creditor (i.e., the bank or institution that issued the card to you) for any unpaid charges.

If you are a co-debtor, as is sometimes the case with businesses and marriages, then you must contact the credit card company, who may do ask you ask, provided that the card has no outstanding debt beyond the current pay period or two, and/or if you have a court order permitting you to do so, which would occur if a business partnership is dissolved or a married couple has separated, etc (n.b., even if you have a court order, the creditor is required to verify it, which may take weeks or even months). Again, you would still be responsible for any charges that you made on the card up to the time you had your name removed from it.
