NO. Only the primary and/or joint owners are responsible for paying the owed balance, even if all charges were accrued by an authorized user. They are also the only ones 1) held accountable if the bill is not paid and 2) whos credit rating is affected.

Can your credit score be effected when you remove yourself from a credit card as an authorized user If so what is the best way to remove yourself as an authorized user?

Your score will only be affected if the account is past due/derogatory. Otherwise you may see an increase in your score due to debt/income ratio becoming smaller. WHAT!?! to whomever answered this. An authorized user can use the account/card. They can also make payments to the account, but they are not required to make payments. These are the only things they can do. That being said, The Primary account holder is the responsible party. Anything that goes wrong or right with the account gets reported to the Primary's Credit and only the Primary's credit. Removing yourself as an authorized user, regardless of the status of the account, has NO effect on your credit score.

How much would it raise your credit scores if you were added as an authorized user on a credit card?

If you are an authorized user of another persons credit it has no effect on your credit at all. It will not raise nor lower your score. The credit card company simple issues you a card with your name on it and then holds the person who holds the credit with them responsible for any charges you make.


If your wife has a lower FICO score will adding her as an authorized user or joint account holder have a negative effect on your FICO score?

No. The person who is the card holder is the person whose FICO score applies to. An authorized user/signer is in most cases not responsible for the debt, if the card holder defaults. Actually, it can effect your score if your talking about a joint account. Authorized users aren't responsible for accounts, thus no reporting of that account will appear on their credit bureau. If your wife has a bad account, late payment stuff like that. Then I would recommend not adding your name to her acccount. It will effect your score. But there will be no change to your score if you have her added to one of your accounts. Just make sure their good ones and everyone gets a boost.

How long should you withhold a payment if you are disputing a charge on your account and the dispute is not settled?

You should continue to make min. payments on your account. If you don't, it will effect your credit rating and it is much harder to repair your credit than get a credit for the payment you made from the credit card company.It depends. You have a right to not pay for the disputed amount on your credit card. This is under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I believe. They can not use this nonpayment to negatively affect your credit or your account. (I took a class on this in law school)However, if you already had a balance, you still need to make payments to cover that. Withholding payment only applies to the portion you are disputing.
