First, GET YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY FIXED!!!

Now, with that out of the way, I need to see if I understood your post correctly....
You knowingly loaned money to bail out an embezzler, who hasn't paid you back and then she used your personal information to fraudulently get a credit card in your name. Now, you want to know how to get your money back and what to do.

This one is simple:
1) Forget about getting your money back. Based on your description of this person, they wouldn't pay a judgment anyway.

2) Get a current copy of your credit history from all three CRA's (Credit Reporting Agencies). Then look for any credit report that is NOT yours. Contact the credit card company/companies and file a complaint against her for fraud. Then be prepared for a LONG battle with them to show that this was fraud, and that you were not aware of it.

3) When/If she is arrested and jailed for credit card abuse and fraud, don't bail her out.

Finally, when you see your sister again, beat the crap out of her for putting you in this position. It won't get your money back, but you will probably feel better!

(I know, I will probably get flamed for being rude or cruel or abusive, but there are really very few options for this one..)

My response:

Applause, applause, applause.

That is not family member; she's a common criminal.

You obviously hit the nail right on the head, Steve.
