I recently discovered in checking my credit information on - - that this account was added to my credit information recently. It was not on my credit report originally or at any time prior to now. When I called State Farm because I suspected fraud, I was advised my name was on the account owned by my employer. State Farm sent a letter requiring both of our signatures to remove me as a card holder. I have now discovered this request was denied. I am a single mother and only make $- a year, but have only my house payment, an occasional small balance on my own credit card, and my credit score was previously in the -.

I will also be in need of a new/used vehicle in the next year and am very worried about how this will affect my ability to obtain a loan or result in an increased interest rate. Also, if he were ever to default I do not want to be responsible for debt not mine. I can not afford an attorney and do not know where to turn.
