My exhusband applied for and got a credit card about 10 years ago. I was a user on the account but I didn’t fill out the application, I only signed as a user. I did not know that he had used his sons social security number on the application at the time. Now his son is 21 and is threatening to charge me through identity theft because my name is the other name on the account and his dad didn’t pay the bill. How can I preserve myself? His dad and I are no longer married. Also is it legal for the credit card company to give him my social security number when he didn’t have it already? Isn’t that illegal for them to do? I mean him and his spouse could use it to steal my info for identity theft. Also it concerns me that they have this info because his mother is a drug addict. Can anyone seem good to help me?
