Hey there--
I started a business with a partner who convinced me to take out credit cards in the name of the business, telling me that I would not be responsible for any of the debt as they are business cards, and further telling me that he would personally pay them off. Needless to say, the debt is squarely in my name, and he is not paying anything. I was young and stupid and trusting, but the damage is already done, and now $30,000 is in collection (with Collect Corp.--I don't even answer the phone anymore), with another $45,000 on "hardship plans".
