You know that you did not apply for this credit account, and you're pretty sure your ex wife forged your signature on the application. File a fraud affidavit with the Credit Card company, and file a police report for identity theft. That's about the only advice I can offer. ChrisB
Like Chris said, I think your options may be limited here... and also dependant on your relationship with your ex-wife. If she forged your signature then you can claim fraud and file a police report and all, but be aware that this very well could land your ex-wife in some legal trouble. If your relationship with her is such that you would rather not do this, then I think your only other option is to offer to pay for deletion and hope they'll comply. You could always ask your ex-wife to pay you back if it really is her debt. If you do want to claim fraud and file a police report and your ex-wife forged your signature during your marriage and/or she had your permission to open the account and/or you used the account at all you might want to consult an attorney first.

do you know if the account was opened before or after your divorce was finalized? my mother-in-law went through this with my father-in law. fil opened accounts in mil's name after separating but not before divorce - and in my state it is legal to open an account in your spouse's name without their consent. mil got stuck w/$5k in debt and he kept the stuff that was purchased. scary, isn't it? just a thought.
