  • Am I responsible for my spouse's medical bills in Iowa when it comes to the FCRA?

    My wife forgot about a medical bill that was in her name only. She pays all her bills and I pay mine, including medical bills.

    When I checked my credit history recently, the collection agency placed it on my account as though I'm a joint holder of it.

    Iowa is not a "community property" state but has a law that states the following:

    597.14 FAMILY EXPENSES.

    The reasonable and necessary expenses of the family and the education of the children are chargeable upon the property of both husband and wife, or either of them, and in relation hereto they may be sued jointly or separately.

    To me this law states that I'm not liable for my spouse's bills until I'm taken to court.

    The collection agency stated this law in their letter after I disputed this a second time. Do they have this right or not to use this law for their purposes?
