Taking out a credit account in someone else’s name without
permission amounts to identity theft, and you can indeed be arrested for fraud
for doing that. As a general rule, if you've taken out a credit card in a close
relative’s name, what happens next is based on their response. If you rack up big debts in your relative's
name and can’t pay them off, the delinquencies will go on their credit record
unless they pay off the balance or take action to reveal that you’re the
culprit.
These crimes are treated as serious offenses by Law
Enforcement Officers and Prosecutors.
With the help of modern technology, Law Enforcement Officers have gotten
better at tracking these cases, which makes it harder to evade the law when
charged with these crimes.
Because a close relative is involved it becomes even more
complicated. Attorney Paul Moraski has
years of experience defending good people who have made a mistake and have been
charged with check or credit card fraud.
