So I had gotten my scores up to about 650 in the last 6 months... paid off a bunch of debt etc. Well I get a myfico notice that my score has fallen to 564 because my ex-wife missed a payment on a cc that I am still listed on. Of course we are now in the process of looking for a car... and i'm afraid we will be denied when we go to apply for the credit. So annoyed.
Is the card a "joint" account, or are you only AU?
It is a joint account that she will not close. I also show up on a discover card that has 6k on it that she has. So annoying.
Contact the credit card company, try to GW the late payment. You need to get that card closed because you are going to be liable for it as long as it remains open, and until it is paid off. Otherwise, to protect your credit, you will have to make certain that payments on the account are kept up to date until it is paid and closed, or forever....whichever comes first.
