Swiss Colony? The sausage and cheese shop..lol~ good lord!
Im just not really sure I am buying into all of this....LOL
That exact same thing led me to divorce, 30k of debt, short sale of a home, and 7 years of having bad credit.
It's not my place to say what to do with the wife, but I suggest getting it worked out. I've been there.
Good Luck.
well.
you can either freeze your files, which you should since you already have too many inquiries yourself.
or you can place a fraud alert on all your files. the banks will have to contact you before approving any application.
eitherways, stay in the garden with what you have got and rebuild.
you really got to talk to your wife. like NJTurnpike said, you guys are spending your credit card like it's some extra money sitting around in your bank account.........
and i'm glad the issue worked out with credit one. you do not want to apply with a SSN number that doesnt belong to you, no matter how desperate for credit.
Why you don't have a credit freeze is beyond me. If my wife was opening accounts behind my back we'd be heading for divorce court and she'd be heading to superior court on felony credit fraud charges.

I wouldn't necessarily agree with immediately taking civil and legal action, but what your wife did is the same thing as lying to you. If you're not on the same page when it comes to your finances and her decisions are ruining your mutual financial situation, you need to either get control of the situation and take whatever backlash she gives you or live in financial ruin.
My wife knows nothing of my credit repair journey other than I;m trying to rebuild my credit. She does not know that I have applied and been approved for new credit cards and I am not going to tell her. She has been hospitalised for months so it isn't hard to keep this from her. She is 17 years younger than me an cannot handle her own bank account much less credit card so for her own protection I dont tell her....

Well, first of all dddewdrop, you need to fix your sig. I'm getting an OCD attack just looking at it. Need to fix! Need to fix!
Good on you for getting your financial sitution under control. It's maybe just a tad of grey area not telling your wife about YOUR credit cards, but not necessarily wrong if she obviously can't handle the responsbility of sharing them with you.
I'm not in the exact same boat as you with a younger significant other, but mine is 5 years younger and while an utter financial wreck, needs an education on proper credit usage.
I feel like I am being punk'd. But...
My ex husband ruined my credit and it took YEARS to build it back up. You need to protect yourself.
Who buys that much sausage and cheese? And that is amazing that your SSN is that close to your dad's...is that typical?
You have a DW problem, much more so than a credit problem. I love and trust my husband, but the one thing we do not share is our credit. Once burned, lesson learned...
