<prompt> Human: Almost two years back my girlfriend was applying for a credit card and asked if she should put my name down also. Anyways I totally forgot about this and she never mentioned the card to me again. Recently Ive been more interested in my credit and decided to check out my score. Long story short she maxed out this credit card with out telling me. We are now split up but she continues to use this credit card and continues to pay the min each month and max it out. Can I get my name removed from this card? How will that effect my credit?  <response>: If you are the authorized user, you can call the bank of the credit card and ask them to remove you.
