Ex wife charged up a credit card, without permission
Date: Thu, 06/18/2009 - 10:55
We told him that my husband didn't live at the address at the time and that he couldn't have taken out the card. They were wanting to open a case, which would press charges on the person that took out the card. My husband has 3 kids with his ex and didn't want to do that...but she claims that she didn't do it.
Her father lived with her at the time and stole a gun that my husband left there when they separated (he left some items to come back and get and when he came back, the gun was gone). He said he put it in his truck for safe keeping and it was stolen out of it...my husband doesn't believe him.
What would you do?
just an fyi, there was also a direct tv bill that they owed 400
just an fyi, there was also a direct tv bill that they owed 400 on and didn't pay. Took it out without permission as well
I would go ahead with the investigation and press charges. Wheth
I would go ahead with the investigation and press charges. Whether it was his ex wife of her father, they probably messed up his credit score and im guessing this is a big headache. Whichever obe it was will come out in the end. There is no excuse for straight up stealing. if he doesnt go through with it, he will most likely be stuck with the bill for whatever they bought and kids or no kids, thats not right. Whichever one opened the card and set up the direct tv knew what they were doing, and that is trying to stick someone else with the bill. Go ahead and se it through. if you dont, there is no telling what else will pop up in the future.
