The above question is about contacting a credit bureau about old debt that's showing on my credit reports. Also, will accessing my credit report or contacting the credit bureau about old debt alert my creditors as to my whereabouts?

The statute of limitations is a limit on the time to file a lawsuit measured from the payment period that the account went into default. Contacting the credit bureau won't change this.

Removing Yourself From Shared Card Account May be Tough

05.10.11

Dear Credit Care,

How do you take your name off of a credit card if you are the second cardholder so it will not reflect on your credit scores or credit at all? The first cardholder was approved for $500 and then he was sent an application. We filled it out, but we were not married then. Now it's on my credit. I never used the card, and he's going bonkers because I cut the card up. I WANT OUT! Help me, please. 

-Sonia

Dear Sonia,

My advice depends on how your name was added to the credit card agreement when the application was filled out and returned. You may have signed the application as a joint account holder or you may have been added as an authorized user. To find out for sure what your status is on the account, you'll need to contact the card issuer.
