follow up on question about closed bank account?

Question

I understand about the checking account in a way, however the banker told me when i went to make a payment on a loan i had that my soon to be ex was making it and i need not pay, however he now tells me the loan was paid off but it still shows open on my credit report, when i asked about it he got very ify and told me it was paid, i'm thinking lawsuit.

Answer 1

Ask him to give you a notarized statement that says the loan is paid off. Then send a copy of that statement to each of the credit reporting agencies (there are 3).

Once they have given you that statement, they can not collect on it. You want to be sure to mention this to your divorce lawyer.

Then again, maybe there is a reason your ex is being this way... looking at your other questions...
