Re: credit card authorized user

The rule in Virginia is that authorized users are not liable for the credit card debts of the primary card holder. See Chevy Chase Sav. Bank v. Strong, 46 Va Cir 422, Circuit Court Richmond, Case No. LC-3152-1. If the judgment was not entered too long ago, you can have it voided but you would have to move quickly.
