    Newspaper ad to show not responsible for bills
    My son and his lady have separated. They had a joint account at a Credit Union which they used to buy a couch.
    When they separated, she stated she would keep the couch
    And simply make those payments. She did not and now
    The Credit Union wants my son to make the payments. I
    Have heard one can place an ad in the newspaper stating
    They are no longer responsible for debys incurred by (name)
    After a specified date. He is screwed in THIS situation but
    Would like to protect himself from other things she may
    Try to stick him with. He is a full time college student so
    Does not have the resources to make this payment. If
    He DOES have to make these payments, can he take the
    Couch?

    I would hope that he has removed his name from the "joint account"!?

    Hello skee:

    Nahhh, and ad like that doesn't do a thing. The credit union isn't going to lend her any more money, so he doesn't have to worry about that. And, I doubt they have other open accounts. If they do, he should close them, no?

    If he is paying for the couch, then it's his couch. If she has it, and won't give it up, he's going to have to sue her.

    He will end up paying for the couch and will have to sue for the money back.
