Posted by ToddH on December 9, 2007, 3:45 pm My wife opened a savings account with our son before he had a driver's license. He lives with us. After he got his driver's license and was able to open an account on his own, he proceeded to bounce checks. The joint checking account we have with him remains open. Will his bad credit behavior effect our credit score? If so, is there anything we can do to reverse it. He is 20 years old. He was not a minor when the account was opened.
