Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Utah

It depends on what the debt was for. If the purchases were for family expenses, then in certain circumstances, a creditor can go after the husband and wife. If they claim there is a judgment, they would have had to have you served with the summons and complaint when the lawsuit was filed. However, it's sometimes amazing how collection agencies can file lawsuits and submit papers to the court representing that the defendants were served and given notice when that is not the case. You may want to call the courts to find out if there really is a judgment entered against you. If so, you may be able to have the judgment vacated if you can convince the court that you never received notice of the lawsuit in the first place.
