I am seeking advice on identity theft. I recently found out a few months ago that a relative opened 3 credit cards in my name. Although, 2 had a zero balance and were closed by myself, one had charges of 1200 on it. I called this company and they referred me to the fraud department of course.
My aunt signed a paper paying for half of the charges on this card. She intends to pay the other half at the end of this week. I have received papers by this company to sign an affirmation of forgery to prove that I didn't open this card or charge on it. Despite what has happened, I have no plans to press charges since my aunt admitted fault in this and has made good on her promise to pay off the card. Will I get in trouble for not signing these papers? Can the company still prosecute her even though I have not filed charges.
The paper she faxed in she signed to say that she did charge on this card and opened it under my name. Can they do anything about this if someone cooperates or could she still be prosecuted anyway even if the debt is paid and the victim doesn't press charges?
Thanks.
