Hello everyone
I just wanted to know if anyone else’s husband opened credit cards under your name? And maxed them out? Behind your back? My soon ex opened 10 credit cards since 2020. I recently just found out and he lied so much, he never admitted he had opened these credit cards , i had to call the bank to get that information. He would be so good at lying and manipulating and making up stories on the spot.. horrible . I am filing for divorce and he is supposed to be served.. will the courts make him repay those debts he took?

coco chanel – I am so sorry for your experience. Unfortunately this is something that many sociopaths do.
Opening credit cards in your name without your knowledge is illegal. It is identify theft. I recommend that you file a police report. The credit card companies should not hold you responsible for the debts, although they may try to stick you with them. It is very important that you argue that the cards were opened without your knowledge or permission. If he forged your signature, that is also a crime.
These should not be considered marital debts. Because if they are, you will end up paying them.

Cocochane, I am so sorry this happened to you on top of being in a abusive relationship.
If you are in the USA please look up: https://www.usa.gov/identity-theft
You will also want to get your credit score from the three top companies and also send a letter to them telling them that your name is being used to open credit card accounts. Every year you can get a free credit score update from the top companies and you should do this every year.
Your soon to be ex deserves to be arrested for this crime he has committed. Do not feel sorry for him. What he has done by opening accounts in your name is AGAINST THE LAW.
If you own your home see if he took a second mortgage out on the home or a reverse mortgage without you knowing (signed your name or not) this is also agaisnt the law.
Please keep posting here on lovefraud and read every article that Donna has writen to open your mind to how abusive your soon to be ex really is.
I would also recommend that you contact your local abuse center for support and help with what your husband has been doing to you emotionally/mentally/finacially etc as they may have some good tips to help you protect yourself from his crimes.
Sending you huge hugs. Take care. 💙💙💙

just wanted to add that I read a article a few years ago about a woman who’s husband during the divorce prosses purchased a home and illegally forged her name on the mortgage papers. She file a report with the police and he was arrested and went to jail for his crime of forgery. I was so happy for his ex wife have the strenght to see this thur which must not have been easy.
Keep in mind that sociopaths will always try to manipulate their spouse in not filing/pressing charges against them for these types of crimes. STAND YOUR GROUND…what he has done is agaisnt the law and he is literally showing you who he is = a criminal and con artist. Believe what you see with his behavior.
on lovefraud look up:
“socioapth pity me manipulation’
sociopath blame shifting’
sociopath smear campaign
socioapth smear campaign.
sociopath triangulation
once you have him served with divorce papers tell your family & friends what he has done to you. They too need to see the truth so he does try to manipulate them into smearing your good name.
