Re: My ex wife

You need to go back to court and have them sanction her. She was not legally permitted AFTER the divorce (or, really during negotiations), to change the deal by using a card you owed to pay off a bill she owed by judgment.

If she had responsibliity for the credit card debt, that responsibility hasn't changed. You SHOULD have straightened out her right to use the cards and had her deliver a cut up card to you at divorce, but that's water under the bridge.

Take your proof of the payments and the dates , her scam and go back to court.

If you didn't get your stuff, use tat as leverage when you get to court,--maybe instead of sanctions, she can give you your stuff, but again, that should have been dealt with before teh judge signed the papers.
