A quick question… in the past my boyfriend transferred one of my credit cards into his name, and i paid him cash for that amount. Now 3 years later…no longer with the same boyfriend, i find a credit balance of 13,000 dollars in collections on my credit report. Is it legal for that credit card company to come after me for the balance, or is he solely responsible. What should i do?

Thanks!

Can one person transfer a balance to another person’s card? Allow me to elaborate.

I have two cards in my name. One was obtained 6 months ago to use the 0% balance transfer feature. My fiance has no cards yet and would like to start building some credit as her score is not stellar. Would it be possible for her to get her own card with a balance transfer deal and transfer a balance from one of my cards? Or can someone transfer only between cards with one name on it?

Thanks for your advice on this topic.
