Re: credit card debt

Unless I'm missing something here, your husband can not be responsible for the debt whether you were married or not when you incurred it. However, if he co-signed on the debt, he would be responsible.

My suggestion is to call the attorney general's office in Hartford and see if they will assist you with this.
