I heard each apostle had a hand in writing the Creed. Anyone who which part of it was/is credited to which apostle?

That was the tradition (legend), yes - but - we know more now due to more recent archaeological and textural finds. This is a great article:

As we know the Apostles' Creed was not written by the apostles , but it is called the Apostles' Creed because it was the early christian communities attampt to give a summary of apostolic teaching . This , like other creeds in the
church's history , was partly a respone to distorted teaching that were present in some church communities , it was a statement of orthodox belief . We really don't know exactly
when it was written and by the earlier oringinal to later addition has caused some controverersy ever since , from
around the middle to the third century . The reason for it is
theological as wellas biblical .

This is how the Apostle's Creed came to be. In early church times, baptism candidates called catechumen were asked questions about the nature of God's Trinity. These questions later came to be called the Apostle's Creed.
The oldest form of the Creed, according to biblical scholars, comes from Bishop Marcellas of Ancyra (A.D. 337). The current form of the Creed has existed since A.D. 750. The Creed is a foundation for the historic Christian faith.

The Apostles did not write the creed as we know it but they certainly did proclaim it`s tenets in their lives
Legend has it that the Apostles wrote this creed on the tenth day after Christ's ascension into heaven. That is not the case, though the name stuck. However, each of the doctrines found in the creed can be traced to statements current in the apostolic period. The earliest written version of the creed is perhaps the Interrogatory Creed of Hippolytus (ca. A.D. 215). The current form is first found in the writings of Caesarius of Arles (d 542

More correctly, Jesus descended to the abode of the dead, where the souls of the just were waiting to be freed from captivity, and taken to heaven. These were the "captives" that Isaiah spoke about, which would be freed by the Messiah. For the record, Jesus never sinned. He never spent a moment in what we know as the eternal hell, which was prepared for Satan and his angels, and he didn't pay the full price for everybody's sins. Jesus destroyed Satan's dominion over mankind. Jesus became the new and sinless head of all mankind. Jesus gave man freedom, and his Father offered mankind forgiveness for sins, per Jesus' request. All who faithfully accept Jesus' free gift of salvation and are baptized, may be saved. All others remain dedicated to Satan, and will likely share in Satan's eternal fate.

Probably not but it summarizes many of the basics of true NT and apostolic Faith.

They were not part of the Bible but religious men decided latter these things were important.
