Cingular Wireless allowed my former husband to enter into a contract under my name. When my husband and I separated (he is nowhere to be found), I checked the mail to find a bill for $900 from Cingular in my name! I had never given him a Power of Attorney! I knew I didn't have an account with Cingular.
I contacted customer service, and the woman I spoke with tried to tell me that as my husband, he was allowed to sign my name to a contract. I stopped her in her tracks. We were a military couple, so thank God I knew that, married or not, no person has the right to sign another's name to a contract without Power of Attorney. She referred me to the Fraud Department and I submitted a complaint. They said they would look into it and get back to me with the results of their investigation. Needless to say I never heard from them again.
Meanwhile, I continued to recieve bills from Cingular eventually totalling to $1400. I asked them to send me a copy of the contract. I planned to take it to the legal department to show that it was obviously forged. They never sent me a copy of the contract. They did, however manage to refer my account to a collection agency AND verify the information to the Credit Bereau when I disputed the account.
I have no idea how to get this resolved! How do I prove that I did not originate this account? I cannot let them get away with this!
