Only those listed in the judgment can be held accountable. If the creditor motions for the court to hold another party responsible, and sufficient reason is given, say the other party has possession of property that is security against the debt, then it is possible. At that point the other party can be added to the judgment and help responsible.

If you have been sued for nonpayment of a credit card but everything is in your husband's name except your bank account can a judgment be placed against you and can they freeze your bank account?

If the debt is valid and proper legal procedures according to state laws is followed a judgment will be granted if the plaintiff wins the lawsuit (they will). Whether the joint bank account can be levied or other property attached by a lien or even a forced sale, depends on state laws and how the property is titled. For example, if you live in a TBE state, a judgment cannot be levied against a joint marital account, although the creditor might still try. If you reside in a community property state most debts are considered joint and both spouses are responsible, regardless of who is the account holder.

If there is more than one name on a judgment what would happen if you filed bankruptcy on it?

The other person becomes solely responsible, if one party has filed bankruptcy and is no longer responsible for it. If both parties file bankruptcy within a relatively short time of each other then neither of you will be responsible for the amount owed. * The exception would be if the judgment has been "perfected" as a lien against real property. In such a case the judgment creditor becomes a secured creditor and the judgment will not be dischargeable under bankrupcy law.
