My Ex Never Paid for Court Ordered Child Support and Medical Bills and now these Bills are Appearing on my Son’s Credit Report, What can we do?
My son came to this decision after learning that his father (who had physical custody of our son while he was a minor) bounced checks for college tuition he had originally agreed to pay, claimed that he supported my son on his income tax returns for the past 12 years though he lived apart from my son and paid no child support or general support to my son, and left medical bills unpaid from while my son was a minor that are now appearing on my son’s credit report (our child support order had his father responsible for these bills). Does he have any recourse to “make” his father pay the back tuition to the college since he now is unable to enroll due to outstanding tuition bills and inability to make a “payment arrangement” with the school since his father passed an NSF check to the college?
I live in Michigan and had cell phone service with Centennial. My 2 year signed contract ended in 2002. I canceled my service on Dec. 16, 2006. I just received a bill for one more additional service from Dec. 16, 2006 through January 16, 2007. I was told that in my contract it indicated I must give them 30 days notice to cancel, or I would pay an additional 30 days service after I canceled my service. With my contracted expired, how can they do this?
I was recently trying to purchase land and bank pulled my credit report I noticed Equifax that they had my sister-in-law and my credit all mixed together. They morphed us into one person with my social security and her birthday. After making that discovery I checked the other two credit bureaus and they had the correct information, it is only Equifax that has this problem. I haven’t been able to purchase the land because I would have been charged more in interest rates because of my lower credit score.
