I was reading the Suze Orman book when I came upon authorized users. Now according to her book, if you are an authorized user on a credit card you are not liable for the primary users debt. Also, the primary person may call the creditor and have the authorized user taken off of the account.
Is this true? I was an authorized user for one of my friends a couple of years back and she was very delinquent on them. Eventually she paid them off but it brought my FICO score down. I had her take me off the accounts (because of what I read) Now... will these accounts be taken out of my credit report? Will my FICO score go up?
Please help!!! I am clueless!!! I want to buy a home in the next year and I'm trying to build my score and get rid of anything negative on my credit score!
Thanks so much in advance.
