I'll try to keep this story short and sweet.
My husband's previous marriage lasted 7 years. It ended in a nasty divorce in 2000 due to her alcoholism. His ex-wife did numerous viscious things; including taking an MBNA credit card out in their names and racking up $20,000. He "assumed" the debt in the divorce although he never charged a single dollar to the account.
The total ammount left to be paid is $14,000, at 29.92% APR, if we make our minimum payments of $300 a month, we will have paid nearly $15,000 more in interest by the time we can pay it off.
His ex-wife passed away in 2004 from complications of bypass surgery. I'm sure that there was a life insurance policy that covered her other existing debt. In addition, her parents filed suit against the hospital and I expect their to be a financial award in that case.
My question is, would it be wrong to send her parents copies of all of the bills and ask that they repay them?
