Is repair possible?

What is the name of your state? PA

Hi, my brother is a junior. When he went to college out of state, my father, senior, opened numerous credit cards in his name with his social security #, without my brother's consent. My brother didn't even use any of these credit cards. In '02 my father passed away, leaving behind this mountain of debt in my brother's name. Is there anything that can be done to rectify my brother's bad credit situation?

Your brother is a victim of identity theft. That is a crime.

Here is a link to the FTC site for identity theft -- good place to start.
