ANYONE who uses your personal information to gain access to an extension of credit or a loan WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSIONis guilty of FRAUD. It is up to you to file the police report, contact the creditor(s) and the credit reporting agencies (Equifax, TransUnion, & Experian). If you report the fraudulent activity immediately after becoming aware of the problem, the other party is liable and can be pursued for commission of a criminal act by the creditor(s). If you DO NOT report the fraudulent activity within a reasonable period of time (following your discovery of the crime) you may be viewed as having given "tacit consent", which means that because you knew and said nothing about it, the fraudulent activity was OK with you. (as though someone broke into your home and stole valuables - but you failed to report it) Then YOU may become liable. Individual state laws vary, but the fraud piece pretty much applies to all fifty states. Don't wait on this. The hole only gets deeper. I have witnessed this too many times.

Are you listed on the credit card account as a joint owner? If so, you are legally liable for it. If you are not listed on the account, you are not legally liable for it. Some sneaky collection agencies will try to make pay by telling you that you must pay, so beware. You can learn more about your rights in debt collection by reading up on the FDCPA.


Mother died widow she had 3000 in credit card debt and no will only 600 in checking account Is son liable for this debt?

The son is not personally liable. The estate, of which the son is most likely going to be executor, is responsible for liquidating all debts. If there are not enough assets, the executor provides the court with how they are dividing them across the debtors. With approval, the estate is then liquidated and closed.
