When my fiance & I started looking for a place to move into on our own (we previously have rented rooms from people) we discovered his mother took out several credit cards in his name totaling several thousand dollars and a electric bill in my name with over $3200 in collections now. We had to file a report with the local police department to press charges against her and I'm having to take her to small claims court since PG&E told me their internal fraud department could take 60-90 days just to complete their investigation and it would take another 60+ days to remove it off my credit reports if/when it is proven fraud. This was one of the most difficult things my fiance has had to do and when he told his mother she either needed to pay them off immediately or he would be forced to do what the credit card companies said THEY needed (the identity theft charges filed) she started guilt tripping him and told him how "I always have loved you" and "would you really want to put your mom in jail" and "if I go to jail your sister and grandpa have nobody to look after them. It really got me wondering, have any of you guys had to press charges against and/or sue a family member?
