Removing my name from debt

When I was 18, my parents put me on their credit card. I used it every so often and I paid it. My parents were doing well, and since I was put on it over 10 yrs ago, I never bothered removing my name. The total of things I charged were probably around $200. But now my parents owe over $12k and it's taken a toll on my credit and I'm in need of another car. Is there a way to remove my name from their debt?

Hi rachelg,

For removing your name form the credit card account of your parents, you frost need to contact the credit card company. You can talk to them about it, and they will send you a form for removing your name, which you will have to sign, and send back to the credit card company. You may have to wait for a week or two, before your name gets removed from your account.

Thanks,

Aaron
