My husband, from whom I’m separated, opened my mail and stole convienence checks from a credit card that is in my name only. He is not a joint applicant on the card and he is not an authorized user. He forged my signature on 4 checks totaling over $6,500. I had no knowledge that he did this until I received my credit card statement. Capital One says I have to pay the debt because he is my husband. We do not live together and I had alreday filed for divorce. Am I responsible for this debt?




If you live in a community property state I believe you may be.
