My husband's ex was in the habit of applying for credit cards and signing his name on the app as the cardholder but then getting an authorized user card for herself. We've had two accounts disappear off his CR after explaining the situation to one OC (billing addresses didn't match after they split up) and the other by providing a requested a fraud affidavit. Neither one ever went to court, but a fraud alert had been placed on his CR. Now there's a big one looming that might. They were still married at the time it was opened but, in the divorce negotiations, she confessed, and agreed to pay for this one. (But obviously hasn't) He never knew about the account til the divorce and never had a card. Now they're coming after him since he is listed as the main debtor. (She was good at forging his signature) We have disputed the debt with the CA and also found out that they are collecting from her but they want to sue him too so it 'will get paid off faster'. Can they do that? If so, how do we fight it?

Pending lawsuit

Anyone have a comment?

Go to the police department and see if you can file a police rep

Go to the police department and see if you can file a police report asap. If she forged his name that is illegal. Once you get a copy of the report send it to whomever is going after him. Also if anything shows up on his or your credit report, put a fraud alert on it and also send a copy of the police report to the 3 reporting agencies...

That is about the best I can think of off the top of my head.

You will also need to download the FTC ID Theft affadavit and have it notorized. Send that, along with the police report and proof of ID to the CRA's. Also send a copy of each credit report with the fraudulant tradelines and Inquiries identified.

I can do all this even though this happened a long time ago?
She did this while they were still married (10 years ago). My husband didn't find out about it til 8 years ago during their divorce negotiations and figured the divorce agreement was enough to settle it. (Didn't know all this then)

is there anything in writing, in the divorce papers, where she admitted opening the account and agreed to pay it? Generally, they wont care if she agreed to pay it, but you would have proof that he was not aware it was even opened until the divorce, and that may be all you need to prove your case.
