Consumer Narrative
My divorce was just recently final and I was in a very toxic, XXXX marriage. I had zero control of bills, emails or anything of importance. After I escaped and filed for divorce I started getting letters in the mail from all different credit card companies. Here to find out these were open Freudianly from my ex husband and he had all the statements coming paperless. My attorney has filed contempt charges and fraud charges are reported also. The 3 credit reports are attached that show all these credit cards in my name and they were not opened nor used by me. This is causing a major problem as I am receiving calls non stop and even to my employer. Can you please help with this?
