Pittsburgh, PA asked in Criminal Law, Civil Litigation and Identity Theft for Pennsylvania

Q: If my husband Put 24000.00 on MY name only card and now is 2 months behind on payments what are my options Thank you

When I was in the hospital my husband put $24,000.00 on MY name only credit card and signed the balance transfers checks with my name which is fraud and now has quit making the payments for 2 months and they are calling me and I understand and now I somehow want to make him accountable for this money. Is this criminal or is this civil suit? I did not give him permission for these transferred but because I then did not want to go through court for this I said as long as he made the payment I did not file anything with the credit card companies.

A: You could report him to the police or sue him. That is enough money that you may want to consult with a family lawyer. The police probably will not be interested because it is your husband.
