Stuck in the Middle Ages asked:


What happens to one’s credit when the person’s sole credit card is taken and used illegally? We’re not sure how this will affect efforts to refinance, as this is my wife’s only credit card. She will be receiving a replacement in the next week and will have an affidavit indicating that the charges were not hers.

Any suggested approaches to ensuring that her credit info is considered before the card was stolen and the account closed?

  3. Im not sure why someone posted it shouldnt effect your rating. Of course it does. Stolen or not doesnt matter, If you keep getting rear ended your car insurance will eventually go up. If you have stolen cards or a card, your at higher risks than someone else. Lenders may consider you live in the bad part of town, maybe you frequently leave your purse or wallet in the car. Yes it effects you and your beacon score(credit rating will go down). Nothing you can do but wait it out and see if your rating recovers after a few years


  4. My next question has to be good idea to be held responsible if the same limit as the other lines in mind the fraudulent purchases if anything negative shows.
