My soon to be ex-husband used my SSN to co-sign for a school loan via the computer. All he had to do was use my SSN and answer a couple of easy questions: what county do I live in? What is my car payment? What was the last city I lived in? Needless to say he recieved the funds. I was not aware of course of the forgery. I just happened to find out about this because I was sent a letter for me to sign to co-sign for a second attempt. I sent a letter to the loan company explaining I was in the midst of a divorce and would not be signing for any loans. I requested they check his records to ensure I was not a co-signer any other loan. And I found out I WAS!!!
So now what happens?
The loan company is investigating and says they will take my name off the loan.
But shouldn't more happen? Is this not ID theft?
I found out I have to press charges on my own.
But what LEGALLY should be happening?![]()
