I’m being accused of identity theft, I always have taken care of my brother in laws finances and everything! His recent girlfriend checked his credit report and is blaming me for credit cards that were open during a verbal agreement when I asked him to borrow money and he didn’t have it so I told him about care credit and he agreed we would open it and I would make payments.
