Eh proof of that one! The divorce hurt a lot, not only emotionally, but also financially when you find all that your ex was hiding from you. OH, and that she is still trying to get loans and such in your name. That'll hurt your credit rating - A LOT.
But letting the creditors know what happened and making regular payments can help improve your score.

Then after a couple year you can talk to your buddy and he'll find you the car of your dreams AND tell you the best way to get the loan.... People like that make a big difference in MY world. They are overwhelmingly outnumbered by assholes who are just out to make a buck.
(Thanks again Jim, I still love my car)
