Question by sk8dudewmu: is this credit fraud and what could i face in court? my dad and i have the same name. he allowed me to use his credit card to make a 5k charge while i was still living at home. i now live in another state and he now is threating to press charges. its been over a year and numerous payments have been made. Am i in legal trouble? our credit reports were also merged for awhile and i recieved credit offers in the mail at my new residence and opened a card not knowing that it was under his social. Again, numerous payments have been made. Can i be charged for fraud on that too? how he found out about the other card was during us trying to straighten our credit reports out. the card has never been late its just he wants to get another house and it adds to his debt ratio

Answer by amysgetaways You can be charged for identity theft and credit card fraud, you could be fined, get probation/community service, or go to prison . If your Dad knows about the other card, is it because you have had late payments, or non payment and they are harassing him for it? Or is it that he monitors his credit report and noticed the new activity? Whatever the reason it does effect his credit score and if he is trying to get a loan or financing for something, he might be a little p.o.’d at you for messing up his credit. He might also be angry that the original 00 hasn’t been paid off yet.
My best advice is to pay off your dad ASAP and don’t borrow from him again, get that other card under your social, and seriously kiss your dad’s butt for being kind enough to let you charge the 5K to begin with and not turning you in for identity theft and credit card fraud sooner.
