Credit Card Fraud Using a Parent's Name

My question involves criminal law for the state of: WV

I opened several CC in my dad's name 4 years ago. debt was 13000. A year after I opened them I told my dad about them and that I had kept up with the payments. With his help I entered into a debt settlement agreement with a company. 1 year into the debt settlement, I realized it wasn't helping. I then contacted a attorney here in WV, and she took over. Me and my dad both met with her and she knew that it was fraud, she is now working to clear the CC's off his credit report. She has already taken care of 4 cc's and his credit is slowly repairing. My question is this, can my dad still file criminal charges against me? He never filled out a police report and has known about the CC's for 4 years.

I think he has 1 more yr. to file

West Virginia has no statute of limitations for felony offenses. Realistically speaking, though, it's unlikely that a prosecutor would authorize charges after four years and a partially satisfied (even if informal) civil settlement.
