Credit Card Fraud question.?
My child's father used our son's soc sec number to get a credit card. Who should I tell & what will happen to my son's father?

You need to get this cleared up. If you do nothing, the only person who is going to get screwed is your son and his credit. The father isn't going to pay on time (if he did, then he could get one in his own name, unless he is a foreign national with no SSN).

I would first contact the local police department. This is identity theft and credit fraud. Explain to them what is happening, what the father did, and they will let you know if this is legal or not (it is legal if the father cosigned for a card in your son's name and uses it himself, but illegal to use your son's SSN to get a card in his name). You may need to be prepared to provide proof to back up your claim. Get a report in case there are additional lines of credit against your son that he doesn't know about.

(The rest of this I got from a website)

Close any suspect accounts in your son's name

Contact one of the credit reporting agencies and have a fraud alert placed against your son's SSN (see link for more info)

Contact the FTC and file a complaint (it says they maintain a database of ID thefts).

As to what will happen to the father? Who cares. If he is using your son for his financial gain, he is not fit to have parental rights. The only thing I would make sure before you proceed is to find out if your son had any part of this. If your son was involved, he will have opened himself up to civil and criminal penalties.

Good Luck

Telll the card issuer. They will investigate becaus ethey have the most at stake. It will likely die in a pile of unwanted paper work if you do anything else with it.

You should got to the social security office and tell them that your son has been a victim of identity theft. They may issue him a new ssn#. They will tell you what to do. Below is a link for more information.

start off with telling the credit card company and have the account frozen and then tell the cops and see what they can do about it. also see about getting social securtiy to change his number and don't let the father know what it is and tell your son it is in his best interst to keep it a secret from his father and explain y.

My ex wife put her phone in my 6 year olds name, maybe we should set them up on a date. You can contact your local credit bureau and request a copy of your son's credit report. This way you can see if there are any other accounts you don't know about. You can then dispute the account based on the fact he is a minor. Or, for quicker results, you can try to call them and ask them to put a fraud alert on his report and alert all creditors. Technically, this is credit card fraud, but the credit card will probably only make your husband pay off the credit card.

Ask your bank, That's Idenity theft along with CC theft

Tell the credit card company. He had to lie on the application to get a credit card issued in a minor's name. He could end up in jail if he has done anything to defraud the credit card company.

it also depends on how much was charged on the card. if it was over $1000, you can actually involve the FBI. do you care what happens to him? this could cause all kinds of problems for your son when he grows up and tries to establish credit. you need to do something.
