In Dec 2003 my husband's ex wife opened a credit card with Capital One in his name while he was stationed in Korea, she had the mailing address listed as a PO Box in her hometown. He did not find out anything about this credit card until we were trying to purchase a house and it was on his credit report. She charged about $150 on the card between the time it was opened and Feb 2004, and now we are told he has to pay $1000.00 in order to get it off his credit report. Are there any legal avenues we can take because we knew nothing of this card? We cannot afford to pay, as we should not because it was fraudulent, but we really need to get his credit score higher so we can qualify for a home loan. We have informed the credit card company, and the refuse to do anything and want payment in full. Anybody have any answers?
