My question is back in 2006 my husband moved to South Carolina because I was in training due to the military and I had to say on base due to my schooling and he had to put me down on the lease for the apartment because at the type I was the only source of income because of course he just moved there. So march on this year he move out of that apartment and moved back to our hometown and that apartment complex sent me and him a bill saying that we owe $658.25 total due to cleaning and some painting.
So they sent it to a collection agency and the collection agency sent him a bill for $658.25 and sent me a bill for $658.25 and when I contacted them they said both of you are held accountable for the bill and we have reported to the credit bureau on your credit report that you owe $658.25 and your husband owes $658.25. But to my understanding is since we our both held accountable than why isn't the bill split in half and how can you report that we both owe that if that is the total amount owed. So I was wondering how can they do that? And I said to him will since we aren't together what if I paid it than you would remove it from both of our credit reports and he didn't pay a penny and the guy told me oh well someone will be paying it.
