WHAT NERVE??

Just ran DH's credit report....BM used his name for phone and internet service at her home without his permission. This happened in 2008, he moved out 2002 and they were divorced in 2004. According to divorce settlement all utilities, were not suppose to be in DH's name. This bill was sent to collections in 2009 for $251. WHAT NERVE??!!

I agree - except I would NOT call. I would sent a Certified Letter (Return Receipt requested) - I tend to get better results that way.

I agree - you need to do something or BM could do it again. MY DH had issue where BM signed the kids up for camp and told the camp to bill my DH. Show the divorce agreement and what DH was responsible to pay for - not camp to get rid of her kids.

Whoa, I've never even thought of checking DH's credit report and I know he hasn't. I look at mine periodically, but we ought to look at his too.

I know his credit is shot and he doesn't have any debt in his name so ... I've never thought about it.

This is scaring me. :O

It says this account was opened 8/2008. And was sent to collections 1/2009. Should we say something to her?

say something to her??? NO. Have her ass reported for identity theft or fraud and let big mean men in uniforms talk to her!!!

Did you ask DH about it? Do that first to be sure he didn't give her permission to do it for whatever reason. Then report it!

To the credit reporting agencies, it doesn't matter if you've been victimized by a stranger, a friend, or an ex-wife. Shutting down the unauthorized accounts, filing a fraud report with the police, and telling the credit reporting agencies to place a fraud alert on your account are the first steps to reclaiming your credit.

BM in this situation probably has tried the same things. She always signs SD up for things and then tells people DH is responsible for it. He has to keep the court order on him whenever he travels to NC or gets calls, letters and emails. She is a trip. I would report it to the credit agency, get a fraud report completed and have the agency go after her sorry behind.
