Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
Credit Report
I have a divorce decree that states
my ex is responsible for a joint
account that was opened prior to
divorce. He is not paying and it is
ruining my credit. I cannot take my
name off this account. Is there
anything legal I can do to either
make him pay? or have my name
removed from this account? When I
tried to report this they still say I owe
even though a judge says that i dont.
Can you please give me legal advice
on what path I should take in this
manner. All MY past accounts are
paid or in good standing except for
this one account.

Re: Credit Report
The creditor is a third party, and is not bound by the terms of the divorce decree, since they were not a party to that lawsuit.
You can save your credit by paying the bill, and then suing your exhusband for violating the terms of the decree. (Keep copies of all of your correspondence and receipts).
