Re: credit with ex husband problem

If false information shows up on your husband's credit report it's his fault. There are procedures he can employ to remove the incorrect information. You are not guilty of any criminal conduct if you did not fraudulently use HIS cards. If the judgment was personal to you, and not to him, he should have it removed.

If he is breaching the terms of your divorce decree you have every right to file a motion to hold him in contempt and at the same time seek an order of protection to keep him from contacting you or harassing you.

You need to see the lawyer who got you the divorce and ask for assistance.
