    The n Tuesday I had got the title on my wife's sportster, went to Houston , had her to sign it.
    Drove another 140 miles to Cuero, Texas to sale the old lady's bike.
    She called and said visa texted herandasked did you just try to makes 1400.00 purchase T Sacks 5th ave, she said no.
    Then they called her,ate you at the apple store trying to buy a 3000.00 computer she said no.
    They said were canceling yer cards. Will send you new ones.

    So I'm over 230 miles from home with no credit cards for diesel in my truck.
    And it's about 100* outside.

    The OL is in finance, credit & collections.
    She called the credit bureau and put a Password on our account.
    If you want credit in our name you must know the password.
    She had to file a police report cause of the high amounts of the charges .

    This hasn't been a good year

    She has a lock on her account.
    If youty to spend 500.00 you have to call them an let them know so they will approve it.
    It you try to use it out of state, you have to call them and let them know .

    Tell her to freeze her credit at all the bureaus
    does she have her license, someone could have enough
    info to start opening credit in her name, freezing it
    means no credit can be opened without her permission
    she has to thaw it for anyone to do anything

    they could have copied the license with an Iphone photo or
    copier at work and put it back, even copied a check, I'd have all
    her cards stopped and replaced, even gas cards and especially an atm
    card.

    This is serious stuff, you should freeze your credit as well,
    if it's someone at work they may know home addresses phone numbers
    all they need is the SSN.


    Its the highest level of protection and having to clean
    up your credit is impossible when this is hit.

    Where did they get her cards, at work
    someone had to have access to her purse.

    This is serious stuff with multiple cards someone might
    have too much intel on her, freeze the credit companies asap..

    She had all credit cards cancelled. She talked to the credit card folk and got new cards
    Then ShE called credit bureau and puta password on our account. So if you apply for credit in our name you have to have a password.
