Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Re: Default Judgement AMEX

They cannot levy his bank account immediately, but it is probably only a matter of time. As a married couple in California, even debts only in your name are technically community obligations, and its not that difficult for the creditor to have your husband bound as a co-debtor. I would strongly suggest that you attempt to negotiate a settlement of the debt with the attorneys representing Amex.
