I have an old debt on my credit report that should have fallen off my credit report last year. The creditor reported it again this year claiming that I brought the payments to current, which started the clock again. I have done as the credit agency's have advised me and reported them to the BBB & Federal trade commission but this has not helped in removing it from my report. Just as an FYI, This is a debt from when I was married & my now ex worked at the location & charged on my account, which he was not on. In fact the account was under my maiden name & opened prior to my marriage. I have contacted the company & they have told me they will continue to do this until it is paid. I do not have nor ever had the items he purchased & disputed them at the time but they told me that because I was legally married to him at the time I am still responsible. I'm not sure where I need to go from here. Any advice would be appreciated

Challenge the item with all three credit bureaus, and keep challenging it till the item comes off.. It might, or might not work. I'd give you 50/50. The BBB won't do it. The FTC won't do it. YOU have to do it.

That is what I'm currently doing is challenging it but so far no such luck. I did talk to an attorney & he told me I could go after them, however I don't have the funds. I just got some advice from another source that told me the attorney general might be able to help. Has anyone ever used them for something similar?
