yes it can, both parties are equally responsible for the account
Speak with the bank rep or bank manager; and have them remove the person as a signer to the account and then you will have to resign a new signature account.
If the account is a joint account with your mother, you and your brother, the surviving joint owners can close the account and share the balance. When the account was opened the three of you should have signed signature cards and all names should be listed as account owners. One or both of you should be able to simply make a withdrawal of the balance and close the account.
When your name appears on a checking account as maker you are accepting liability for overdrafts made on that account which could impact your credit score. My thoughts are that it is an issue about liability. Also the bank wants to be certain that in the event that the account is overdrawn, they are able to collect against you by having your signature on the contract.
Yes, a member can add anyone, age 18 or older, as a joint owner to his/her account. As long as the joint individual is eligible for a checking account through the credit union or bank. This person has total access to do transactions on only the specific account they are joint on.
A signature on the application.
No. In saying this I am assuming the account is not a joint account with him and he has forged your signature. If he has done this he has committed a crime and you should go to the police and tell the bank.
Nope. And you shouldn't--it's unethical if not illegal.
Yes, as long as your listed as a "Co-signer" on the account. Credit is not build if you are just an "Authorized User" if this was a credit card account. Lastly, this all assumes that whatever this joint-account is that it reports to credit.
You will have to check with your Institution to find out their policies to remove someones name from a joint bank account without their authorization.With most banks, you will have to have their signature to remove them from the account.
x ratedIm not an attourney but if the account was closed(this means the cards are void)and the balance owed was $0 at the time of closing. The x would need your signature to reopen a joint. However in your card agreement you may want to read the fine print and see if the account might have just been dormant as per the card issuers policy and then later reinstated. if this isn't the case the x may have forged your info. YOU NEED A LAWYER!!!!
Yes, anytime you open a new credit account, even if it is a joint account, it is reported on your credit report either when it is opened or when it is unpaid.
No, only the primary cardholder's credit score is affected.

You can be, although it will be undesirable to the person you're sharing the account with.
If this relates to a joint account holder or cosigner, then yes the person's credit rating will be affected by a repossession. Yes, whoever's name the car is in will be affected by the car's repossession. Only if the car is somehow tied to the account. Only a bad payment history on that joint account can affect your credit.
No, the only thing that would affect their credit is the joint account, so just make all the payments on time.
