Getting Credit?
I am 71 years old my husband is a retired physician 75 years old. All of our credit cards and the household bills are in my husband’s name. I just learned that when I applied for my own credit card without using his income I could not get a card. I find that outrageous since I am the one who has paid the bills all of our lives and have a FICO score of 840 because I have been very careful about paying everything on time. Please tell me how to get my own credit cards and how to put the household accounts in my name instead of his. I have recently encountered a new credit card that would not talk to me about a question I had about the account, and even Comcast required to speak to my husband first. It infuriates me since he would never have paid the bills on time if it were up to him. I have done it for 40 years but he gets all the credit. Literally!!! Thank you.
