They are within their rights and can evict your family if they have an adult living there who is not on the lease. This is nothing personal, it has to do with insurance and possible local law.
If your wife put you on her application, where is asks "who will live here" you should be OK regardless of your credit. If she did not, but you always lived there, as you state, then they can evict the lot of you for a fraudulent application. The only way out of that one is if there is nothing on there where she swore that her information was true and correct.

What happened when you signed the lease? Were they aware you were going to live there? Then they may not be able to make you sign the lease.
I do not see how they would be able to deny you acceptance since you already live there. Adding you to the lease is not the same an application.
And do they have some type of payment tiering based on credit? That seems uncommon and if the lease states $X then then that should be your payment.
Unless there is some other reason you don't mention, I am not sure why you want to be on the lease.

Most leases state that all adults (over 18) living in the unit must be on the lease. What they are asking of you is perfectly legal. And ... yes they can deny you being on it if your credit is bad after asking you to be on it ... and they can then evict you. Or worse, they can have you charged with tresspass.
You must have done something to irritate them because this is not something they would normally enforce this stringently unless they wanted you out.
