My wife had 3 hospital bills that she hadn't paid before we got marry. She currently doesnt have a job and shes not able to afford to pay any of those bills and my income is not enough to pay for her bills either. Now She got a notice that she has been sent to collections. Does that affect my good credit report in any way?. Is it gonna affect my tax returns for this year?. Is it possible for her debt collectors to come after me since she cant pay for this bills?
