Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Identity Theft

6 months ago a friend had his car in the shop and didn't have the money or credit to get it out. I was nice and told him I would get a store card on my credit, however I was told that my credit history was insufficient, he said he would ask his mom to cosign it for us. Well come to find out his mom knew nothing about it. We are currently no longer friends and is threatening to tell his mom to sue me for identity theft. I have never met his mom, nor do I even know her name. What can I do to protect myself from my friend and his threats and possible law suit?

Re: Identity Theft

There appear to be some pertinent facts missing here. Did the mom ever co-sign for the repairs at issue, or how exactly is your friend threatening identity theft now? If you let us know the answers to these questions, and whether or not, your friend is attempting to "extort" money from you now with the threats at issue, we can give you complete guidance and/or assistance thereafter. You may contact us directly for a free consultation.
