Yesterday I received a call from BoA telling me they have removed my accounts from my children's accounts (they were authorized users back when they were teenagers!). VICTORY is mine!
I would not have known about authorized users being penalized for my financial difficulties had I not found this website.
End of November I make my last payment to Citibank. End of January Bank of A will be paid off (the big account). Have a Bank of A account for $2700 that just went to CA, and a smaller Chase and Capital One account.
Then I'll be debt-free!! (and won't have to listen to messages from Linda!)
