A debt popped up on my credit report that my son incurred when he was a teenager. He is now 20 years old. Is there anyway I can transfer this debt to him? I have been working on my credit for the past year and now this. Anyone who can help me please do. Thanks

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in but by law if the debt occurred when he was a minor, he's not legally responsible. I think the parent has to pay the debt.

10/08 - EX 795 / EQ 816 / TU 806
6/09 - EQ 763 / TU 770

Starting Score (2/2010): TU-767, EQ-745
Current Score (2/2010): TU-767, EQ-745
Goal Score (12/2010): TU-780, EQ-790

Correct

I agree with both Babygirl and scrambling. However, what was the debt? Also, what's your state's SOL and the DOFD/DOLA for the debt? Who is reporting on your CR?
