about a year ago my wife gets a phone call from her Aunt telling her she has some mail for her from directtv. she has her open it and it is a shutoff notice. apparantely my wifes sister had opened an account in my wifes name and quit paying the bill. my wife called her sister and she promised she would take care of it and never do it again. about a week later we get another call from the aunt telling us that dtv sent her boxes to return the equipment. my wifes sister says she mailed the equipment back. we contacted dtv at the time to inform them that this was not ours and we wanted it dropped. pretty easy to prove its not ours considering we live in Oklahoma and this happened in Texas. thay basically told us we would have to go to court to get them to drop it. my wife got a loan from our credit union yesterday and they called her back and told her there was a dtv bill on her credit for $750. originally it was only 150-200. the fact that is $750 now tells me that my wifes sister lied to us and never returned the equipment. i'm trying to get my wife to press charges on her sister, but i don't think she will. i just want this off of her cr without having to pay it or spend $$$$ in atty fees and court cost. any input would be appreciated.

this is a side note, but you may want to consider doing this with all three credit bureaus:

she's lied and basically stolen from her own sister, so nothing says she won't be tempted to do it again

you may want to get free copies of her credit reports too to make sure she didn't do it with any other creditors

Mail the boxes to ship her sister for the equipment back to ship back to you.. also send her the postage monies to cover the costs to ship to you..

then you make sure you have the equipment in your possesion to send on the DTV to clear the account balance for the leased equipment and whatever the remainder charges.. this will clear your account with DTV.. sorry to hear about the struggles with family matters...

How ya doin otherwise duck? still deployed?

Hog

#2 Credit Buearo's dont give a crap and neither does collection agency's...

my last ex wife FUBARD my credit and hauled ass.. my fault.. I thought I was in love and thinkin with my ****...

I went from a 787 CR to a 524 after she skipped... 5 yrs marraige and I used to joke about us ending up in a Fridgorator box... Joke was/is on me.. she'd like to see my ass in a fridge box on a street corner.. sorry bout the bad luck.. I don't lay down easy...

I'm just awaiting my Day in Court!!!!!!

Texas you say huh. Well I believe that you can go over and shoot your SIL and you will be aquitted by jury as an act of self defense. Hell you may not even be arrested.

On a serious note that has to suck being family and all. Touchy situation to deal with.

thanks lluvia looks like alot of good info there.

good advice Hog. i will have my wife confront her sister again to find out if she has the equipment.

even if she has it i think she will lie about it.

this old sandbox is gettin old real fast. got 33 days until my last 15 day R&R. i can't wait until i leave this ****hole for good though.

Apache if i shoot my SIL my wife would take her 4 kids in and then i would have to shoot myself. Besides i alredy thought of that. if it was anyone other than family we would press charges. my wife told her she would do just that if she ever finds out shes using her name for anything else.

It's only a deployment Bro... remember there is light at the end of that tunnel..

shoot me an email sometime.. usahog(at)hotmail.com

be careful with the entire situation as well.. your Mrs. is probably tired of the deployments as well and her sister is life blood...

be like Jim in According to Jim... he deals with SIL and BIL on each episode... LOL

my wife is really pissed about this. the only time her sister calls is if she needs $$$. the last time she asked for $$$ she didn't even call, she text. that was 3 days after my wifes father passed and we took care of everything without any of my wifes sisters(3) even offering to help.

Bro your venting on open forum...

you can shoot me an email.

your right.

Hog you have mail.

got it.. thanks...

Call the cops and have that b*t*h arrested and locked up.

don't worry CE I think Duck has this one taken care of...

Then why is he on here asking for help??

he ain't no more now is he?

give it a rest..

CE, if i don't have her arrested can i count that as my good deed for the day?

No someone like her needs to be arrested plain and simple. It sounds like she is a real POS and it would be wrong to beat the living hell out of her so next best thing throw her little a** in jail.

^ there you go all speculating an ****.. how you know this woman aint 300 lbs of muscle and blood?

callin her a lil a$$ might just be an insult..

aw fuggit.. I thought pacman made the post about the chick break dancin on the Cherry coffee table.. but now I can't find it?
