What is the name of your state? Oregon
Oh - I though I posted and now it disappeared. Poured out my heart. Can't do it all again.
I got remarried three years ago. Relocated with kids. All was bliss until I lost my job - company went under last fall. Hubby moved back to his old house. He had put me on title to the new one and provided "support" through the fall by giving me a credit card. Still thought we would reconcile when things straightened out. Got rehired but then laid off after three months. My income dropped from over 10K/month to less than 2K on UE.
Fast forward - only just got back to work again - much less salary. No reconciliation. The house is pending a NOD and foreclosure. I might have 90 days. Maybe a little more. Can't catch up on payments and he has filed BK too. I don't even make enough in take home to consider.
Now today a Sheriff shows up at my job with a court order for a medical bill on him which included me! I had just gotten paid and he took a $1000 right out of my purse! Which was what I was going to put in savings towards getting a rental in a couple months. And his creditors are calling me on all kinds of bills saying I am responsible - I only ever had one card he gave me! I pulled a credit report tonight and now my credit is trashed - there are 4 cards reporting me as a signer - all at 90 days.
I am just sitting here terrified what is to become of us. I didn't know you could end up responsible for your spouse's bills. I'm afraid to leave the house tomorrow - its not really mine and now police can show up and take whatever they want.
I thought this was a good man and I don't think he did any of this to be malicious - just was trying to give me what he thought I wanted. Now all I want is to come out of this with a roof over my head and enough to get by on.
