you're a very angry person, Maggie. That's probably why you keep getting fired from jobs.

With your name on the account, obviously it's *your* debt and you're responsible for making sure it's paid. Your beef is with your ex, not Capital One; it's not their job to collect on your divorce settlement. You may have a cause of action against the ex to recover your damages arising from his breach, but that's not worth much. It's frustrating to deal with a deadbeat, isn't it? Could almost make somebody...well...angry.
But of course, it's all about *me* and *my* obvious anger. I was so unbearable that when the client terminated all the consulting engagements early at the end of the year (there were six of us in that batch as I recall, hotheads every one), the guy I'd been working for there hooked me up with a close friend he'd worked with at several other companies, who was very happy to hire me on the strength of his personal recommendation as to the quality of my work.
Clearly I have personality problems that make me impossible to work with, which is why I've just blown right through eight whole jobs in 35 years. Just can't seem to hold it together for more than four or five years at a stretch...unless you count that one place I was at for 13 years, and the other for seven, but obviously those were anomalies.
