Sears
Ripoff cosigned then closed account - they let him reopen without my knowledge and charged me

My son wanted to open a Sears account. So to help him out I co applied. They in turn made me primary lender with 3000.00 credit limit.

I kept cards from my son, only to find out he made purchase with his drivers license. I called to lower the credit limit to 300.00 dollars anly to find out he had charged up to 1,200.00.

I closed the account. I found out a few weeks later that Sears had opened the account back up to him, now charged 3,400.00.

I made it clerk that I wanted the account closed and not opened under no circumstances. Now they have they have taken the delinquent account to an attorney that has sued me without my knowledge for garnishment of wages.

Can they hold me accountable for any charge ran up after I closed the account.
