Sil stealing...again
So my dh gets a bill in the mail from bill me later. For those that don't know it is a sort of credit account with deferred billing. I've had accounts at different times that I pay off then close. So when dh first got the bill he assumed it was my acct and that his name was attached to it. But then I got My bill a few days later. So he actually opened the dang thing and saw a 40.00 charge from Walmart.com and a 40 charge from American eagle. He was kind of like wtf? But then sat it aside and didnt think much more about it- until he was able to gain access to his email account. He has been locked out of it for months, but randomly tried to get back on a few days ago and surprise he got on. So amazingly he sees an email from Walmart.com. He opens it and it says, "dear sil, just inquiring as to how you liked your recent purchase of ps3 game from Walmart.com". So he calls bill me later-tells him he didn't open account and they turn it over to their fraud dept. then he calls walmart and tells him he got an email about an order he never made. they confirm that it was a ps3 game and that it was in the amount as shown on the bill me later. They told him the ship to address was different than the billing but wouldn't tell them more saying they had to turn it over to the fraud dept. I cannot believe she blatantly opened a credit account in his name. What effing balls that nasty bitch has. Dh texted her about some money she was supposed to pay back in 24 hours and then didn't- he copied it to her boyfriend as she said it was for rent- when what she really did with it was get her nails done, buy drugs, and tan. She then told her children that they didn't have rent that month because my dh owed her money and wouldn't pay it. Her 15 yo son actually texted dh bitching him out. Wtf?
So sil was all shitty with him at first for causing problems with her man and she told him she was going to text me and try and get me pissed at him (whatever crazy lady)- but then when he brought up the bill me later she started kissing his ass, but alternated with calling him a snitch. So my question is will bill me later or Walmart or ae actually do anything to her? I should mention she is currently out on 1500.00 bond for check fraud unrelated to dh.
While I am amazed at her audacity, I'm glad this happened as dh can really see what a despicable human she is.

Probably not. It costs money
Probably not. It costs money to prosecute for fraud when they can simply claim it as a loss on their taxes and be out nothing. One of my DH's buddies downrange somehow managed to get DH's checking acct linked to his eagle cash card and stole a grand total of $175.00 before it was all said and done. USAA reimbursed us the money and closed the claim. They never even investigated beyond what I told them.
While the companies may not
While the companies may not do much about it - YOU and your DH can. Call the cops - this is Identity Theft. It is a BIG DEAL.
This time it was only $80. But what if she had gone on a spree and spent $800? Or more?
I would make a report with the police, and use the companies Fraud department's findings to add facts to the case. It may not actually result in any consequences - but if you file it - any FURTHER fraud won't be on you at all.
(I'm imagining that she's done more damage already - it just hasn't come thru yet. Pull your credit reports ASAP!)
THIS^^^^^^^^^ How much other
THIS^^^^^^^^^ How much other damage has she done that you just don't know about yet?
You need to persue
You need to persue it...follow through. They will settle if its cheaper if there is not someone pushing them.
Go file a police report. He
Go file a police report. He has to or it can go on his credit report. Then he has to send a copy of the police report to the three credit burueas. Also, I would pull a report from all three to make sure they are correct. I doubt seriously this is the first thing she has done to him....
I had my CC stolen yet had it in my wallet and went through hell to get it all disputted. The police report was crucial in getting the money back....
Yes His, PLEASE file a police
Yes His, PLEASE file a police report. As you might remember I'm in banking, there are many reasons too numerous to count why you NEED to do that, the most important being to protect your credit/good name. And if you want to get some sweet, sweet revenge }:) , ask them the name of the detective handling her fraud case and rat her out. She'll get picked up for violating parole.
We've had 3 sets of
We've had 3 sets of fraudulent charges on our credit/debit cards in the last 8 months as well-none of which seemed like she would make them-one was for a website, one was a donation for union fees, and I dont remember what the other one was for honestly. We never filed a report-the cc denied the charges and on our debit card the bank returned our cash. I did not think that she could have opened another acct in her name that is coming to her house though. That's a really good point and I will tell my dh to get his credit report.
You need to tell her parole
You need to tell her parole officer....She is probably doing this to others and you need to go through your finances with a fine tooth comb.
