<prompt> Human: I was given a company credit card about a year ago where one of the owners of the company was the primary account holder. A couple of months ago that owner passed away and now the new owner does not want to pay the credit card bill because it seems the owner that passed was using it for his own personal purchases.I have learned that the account is past due and the total balance is over 25K. My question is am I personally liable for anything? How will my credit be affected - if at all?  <response>: Remove yourself from the credit card just to be safe. As an authorized user you are not on the hook for the debt.
