Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Re: credit card debt

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Since you allowed your ex-boyfriend to use your credit card for inventory for his retail business, you are responsibile to pay the debt which he incurred. If you fail to pay, your credit will be seriously damaged. If you cannot pay, you may be forced to file for bankruptcy if you qualify under the new laws.

You do have the right to sue him for the amount of the debt together with all interest which has accrued, court costs and maybe your attorney's fees. Whether or not he is collectible, you will be better able to answer than I.
