If additional cards bearing the same number are requested for family members, what is the responsibility of?

Question

to whome the number was issued?

Answer 1

They are responsible for all of the cards issued on their account. If they don't want to be responsible for the other cards, then the other family members must fill out an application and get their own account number and card.

Answer 2

To get help with this question, you need to be more detailed. What type of "CARDS" are you talking about? Explain what you mean that a card was requested for a family member, and responsibility to whom from what recouse are you speaking of.

Let me guess, your speaking of a Social Security Card, that maybe some one ordered in your family that was not his/her card and now possibly has that number?

Your question is not information enough to give anyone some insight on what your talking about to help someone help you. To many variables and senerio can be insuaited here.

If by chance you are speaking about a Social Security Card issue, my suggestion would be to put a possible Identy Theft alert out, with your bank, all the credit reporting bureau's etc. and most of all notify Social Security Office at the link below.

Answer 3

I understand that this question is about making someone an authorized signer on your credit card, because debit cards always have individual numbers for each person.

If you tell your credit card company to send you an extra card with your family member's name on it, you are still responsible for all of the charges. So if your little brother decides to use your card to buy a Plasma TV instead of saving it for emergencies, the card company isn't going to do anything about it, it's your responsibility.

When I worked for a bank, they gave their clients an option of splitting a credit card account in two. Let's say you have a $5,000 limit card and want to get your student son an emergency card. With my bank you could request that the card be split into two, let's say with $4,500 limit and $500 limit, with the new card getting a different number. Once the split is done, you call the bank back and ask them to issue a card to your family member on that small account, but keep the large one to yourself.

If you want your family member to be responsible for the account with you, you'll need to have your bank send you some forms, they'll usually require your signature to agree that you want a person to be added to your account and require your family member's info and signature to confirm that they want to share responsibility for the card and to verify if there credit is good enough to approve them. In this case you are both equally responsible for the card.

Hope this helps.
