Credit card company going after me. I did not sign for card by: Debtcollectionanswers.com.
Katie:
I am not sure what is going on. If you did not open the credit card account with your ex then there is no reason why the credit card company should be going after you. However, do you think your ex may have opened the account in your name without your knowledge? If he did, then your ex committed identity theft, which is a crime.
If I were you I would call the credit card company that you say is coming after you to see if you can find out why it is doing that. If it says that you are on the account and you have no recollection of opening a credit card account with your ex, find out if the company will send you a copy of the card application that was signed. If you are unable to figure out what is going on yourself, I recommend that you schedule an appointment with a consumer law attorney who helps people resolve their debt collection problems. Go here to schedule afree consultation with a consumer law attorney. Also, if you find out that your ex put your name on the card application without your knowledge, you may want to talk with the attorney about any legal recourse you may have. Like I said earlier, if that happened, your ex committed the crime of identity theft.
