If she gave them her credit card number she did it voluntarily. If the were harrassing her she had an obligation to tell them to stop calling. Once she did that she needed to document the calls and get a lawyer. If you didn't live there and she wasn't a co-signer on the note she could have sued and probably got enough to pay off your debt. It's too late now though.
What else can I help you with?
Can you lose your home for non payment of a credit card if your on suplimental security income?
A credit card is unsecured which means you used the money on signiture alone they can sue you, but unless you used your home as colateral to get and use the card they cannot take anything from you. Credit card collectors will lie to you and harass you but it is all wind whatever you do do not give them electronic access to any of your accounts. You can call and ask if they will work with you, settle for less or work with you on repayment. As I mentioned they can sue you and will win because you owe the money some companies will just right you off as a bad debt or uncollectable but it will always be there and will stay on your credit until settled.
