<prompt> Human: Im not sure if this is the best place to post this. 5 years ago my ex boyfriend opened a store credit card and added me as joint or an authorized user. We broke up a week later and I never recieved a card. It shows up on my credit report but it is not negatively effecting my credit. I have tried contacting my ex but he will not respond. The store cannot help me because I am not primary and do not have the card number. Credit bureaus would not remove the account because it is not fraudulent. I am not sure what other options I may have to get my name off of this account, any help would be appreciated.  <response>: The information shows on your credit report, call them with your ss and have them remove you. This only works if you are an authorized user. If you are a joint user, you cannot remove yourself without paying off the account and closing it.
