Can credit card companies make my dad pay for my moms debt?
the credit card was only in her name(no joint or authorized user)so the company is saying that since the house was in both mom and dads name he is responsible to pay her debt(9,500) because he can sell, mortgage the house to pay the debt.she left nothing, They say its texas law.

First, in TX, they can't take your house. If they are threatening him, he needs to notify the Attorney General.

Credit card debt is unsecured debt and has no colateral attached. Think of it as a signature loan.

If your parents were legally married or common law he IS responsible for the debt. TX is a community property/debt state. If they were divorced then the decree should state who was responsible for what debt.

The credit card company should be willing to work out a payment program with him. If not, it will go on his credit history.

Absolutely. Just like a non-working spouse can buy a home using the working spouse's credit, married couples are responsible for debt incurred by either partner.
You say there "were married". Has your mother passed away? If so, than all her debts are applied to her estate.
If they are divorcing, they'll have to split debts/assets, including those debts incurred by only one of them. If the divorce is final, and your mother has failed to pay the balance, your father can't be held responsible.
Circumstances are always different, seek out a lawyer's advice to be safe.

Studly and Tim are correct on this.. but you need to consult an attorney of this, with a divorce and all. If the credit cards stated before you were married they cannot do anything at all. Most likely they are using scare tracts they do this very well. lets say the debts are like this 1 card 3k 2nd 4k 3rd 2k it more then likely they will do nothing, its not worth there while. unless you have lots of equity involved then refinance and hide your equity lets say in account with your name. then they will not bother with a lien. Its a big game but i would not jump the gun and pay them. If they threaten you with they probably will know your rights and be prepared for a battle.

I dont think so..


singlemommy770
i would,'t think that a credit card could do that. especially since its in your moms name. he should call his lawyer and see what they tell him. if the divorce is finalized and this wasn't mentioned in the debt accumulated by both then i don't think they can but i live in Iowa not Texas.

Tim B is correct. In Texas (which is a "community property state") , both spouses are responsible for the debt.

I'm not certain of this (need to research it a little) but a lien could be placed against the home. They can't take your home, only place a lien on it. You could not sell the home until the lien has been paid.

If there is a divorce involved in this, that will complicate things a bit more, so you need to get some advice from a lawyer familiar with Texas collection laws.

If they are divorced, this should have been brought up during the settlement.

If he can prove that she opened the account AFTER the divorce, then he has no liabilities to it. If it was opened during the marriage, he could very well be responsible for it.

Depends on the state you live in and the joint laws
