a wife and mother of 13 years was lied to by her husband for over a year. He lied about having a job in which he had been laid off. To cover up this lie he withdrew money from their saving account, his son's saving account and his 401k. All this totaled 83,000. He would deposit amounts of money in the guise of a paycheck. When this money was depleted he then used a credit card in her name
to rack up over 70,000. He did all the finances and had all the statements etc, done on line so she had no idea what was going on. The income taxes were done electronically. What recourse does she have in regard to the fraudulently used credit card in her name.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

She needs to file a police report. She needs to engage the credit card company's fraud dept. and give them a copy of the police report. The credit card company will then give her further instructions.

This is not going to be easy to deal with.

when you say ran up debt on your credit, do you mean he took out credit cards in your name without your knowledge or do you mean you had him as an authorized user on your account and you didnt pay attention to what he was doing?
