My wife wrote a check that bounced due to unforeseen circumstances. To make it short, it was turned over to collections in Washington State, Clark County. She was the primary on the account but I was added several months before the check or collection action. The collection action was against me and not her. It's on my credit report and not hers. They dealt with her (signer) but never pursued her for collections. It was paid off in full on 11/2005. I called the collection agency to find out why they went after me and not the person who wrote the check. I was told because, "your the man, you’re the primary on the checking account, I am not, because we had your SSN, because WA state is a community property state. Can they discriminate like that just because I am a man?
