Question
I live in AZ and a few years ago my husband used my information to open a credit card account without my knowledge. He made an agreement with the creditor to pay it and my name was taken off the account. He has not paid it and we recently received a letter addressed to both of us from a debt recovery manager. Do I have any recourse so that this does not affect my credit? Should I dispute the validity of the debt?

Answer
Thank you for the post, I assume you and your husband are still married and this debt was incurred during that marriage. If my assumptions are correct, this is a marital debt for which you are both jointly liable.

Is there anything I can do to negotiate with the creditor?

Yes, you can offer a payment plan to settle the debt but be advised that the credit is not obligated to accept the payment plan.

What will happen if I cannot pay it in full and they do not accept the payment plan?
Accepted Answer
They will sue you and your husband jointly for the default and then seek to garnish your wages and/or freeze bank account to satisfy the judgement.
