What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
I have been divorced from my wife for 7 years and I recently discovered that she started using 2 credit cards that we had jointly with me as the primary card holder. I do not even know the account mubers for these cards. I had forgotten about these cards completely. She has run them up to the maximum amounts and is arrears in payments which has severely affected my credit rating. It dropped almost 100 points over the past six months. I spoke with her to pay them off and close the accounts but she will not comply with my requests. Can I take her to court to pay these cards off and close the accounts? She has the means to pay them off in full. ANy advice will be helpful.
