No. The secondary card holder can only discharge his/her own obligation to pay. The primary will staill have to pay.
If the BK filer is allowed to discharge the debt a joint account holder who is not a party to the bankruptcy becomes solely responsible for the entire amount. Cancelling or closing the account will not change the fact that the person will still owe the debt and it will eliminate the possibility of said person to negotiate terms with the lender if it becomes necessary. If the joint account holder continues to meet the required terms of the account agreement his or her credit score will not be negatively affected.
The card holder is under no legal obligation for the card holder to continue making payments after filing for bankruptcy, unless the case is dismissed without a discharge. There are some who believe that they can improve their credit rating by pay off debts that were discharged in a bankruptcy, but I believe there are better methods to reestablish credit after bankruptcy.
Yes. Each cardholder is responsible for the entire debt.
Yes the spouse who denies that she or he held a property at the time of divorce to avoid more payment is guilty of perjury.
The bankruptcy will appear on their credit if you include this card in your bankruptcy. If you leave the card off the bankruptcy, it will not effect their credit.
The benefits of having a secondary card holder on a charge account are mostly to the secondary card holder. This person can use the account, but it is the primary person that must pay the bill. Having a secondary person on an account is helpful for providing a credit card in their own names to students and spouses.
hey
Yes.
Usually, a new card is issued in the primary card holder's name. Usually both parties on a credit card have to sign off to eliminate the secondary card holder. Your credit card holder can help you with this.
It depends if the secondary card holder is a "Joint Account Member" or a "Authorized User". The joint account member is responsible for the balance, the authorized user is not.
The major difference is that the Primary Account holder is responsible for all the amounts due on both the Primary Card and the Secondary Card.
There is nothing that "removes" a name from a mortgage. That contract, like all contracts, is relevant until it is completed (paid). However, chapter 7 bankruptcy can discharge the debt. On any joint debt that one party discharges through bankruptcy, the other account holder becomes 100% liable for the balance.
