I have a problem where 2 closed account credit cards have balances on them. They were in my name as primary and his name. My ex was to pay them as stated in the divorce decree. Now he's not paying them and it's ruining my credit. These credit card companies wouldn't take my name off of them when we split, and he didn't qualify to get another credit card in his own name to transfer the balances, so here I am.
I'm not sure if I should just go ahead and start paying on them, or wait and see if he starts paying them or if he defaults. If I wait, when I do have to take them over, all of those past due fees and interest will be so much. Neither credit card company has contacted me for payment, which I don't understand.
Any suggestions?
