Question
Good evening:
My husband has a small cc debt of $495. This account was written off in June/2002. At this time, I did not even know him. I actually married him in June/2004. A month ago, a law firm contacted him to ask him to pay off this debt. He is a military retired psychiatric patient. My question is:
1. Can they collect this account after writing it off?
2. Can I ever be held responsible for his debts, especially if they occurred before I met him?
3. Would they actually take this to court for only $495? And if not, what can they do to collect this account? (We reside in Texas)

Answer
Hello:

I am licensed to practice law in Michigan.

Since this is not a Michigan matter I would encourage you to immediately contact an attorney in your state regarding this matter.  

I hope this helps.
