I would guess that if you're an authorized user you're not responsible for the account. However I'm not sure. Why do they use a card with your name on it daily if its only an authorized card? They...

How old are you now? (I ask because you mention you've had the first card since you were 18 - is this a couple years old, or 10?). Could be that account age is the only thing keeping your score from...
