Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Utah

I am getting a divorce after 6 years of marriage. All bills were put in my name because of the poor credit of my spouse. I have been working to have my name removed from all bills. All companies have been great to work with and my name is now off all accounts. My only concern is with Direct T.V. Satellite.

When I removed my name I was told my name was removed from the account, and the account is paid in full. It was then stated that should any future bill or bills be sent to collections, I will be served with a collections notice because the account was opened in my name and I will be responsible for the bill. This makes no sense, I no longer live in the home and as of today my name is off the account. Can they really come after me for money should my spouse not pay the bill in the future?

What is my recourse or how do I protect my interest. After speaking with the family I tried to call them and now that I am not on the account they will not speak to me. I feel like I am in real mess now. Please help!!

Wait until you get a bill. You may actually be off of the account.
