My Husband in Prison Wants Me to Get a Credit Card in His Name. – Anya

“Dear Steve,

Do You Have a Question You'd Like Help With? Contact Debt Coach Damon Day. Click here to reach Damon.

My husband is in prison and he was telling me that I can get a credit card in his name.

Is this possible? Would I have to get power of attorney? If so, how do I obtain that?

Anya”

Dear Anya,

That is a horribly bad idea. If you apply in his name without a specific power of attorney, you’d be committing identity theft. What would you list for his income?

Please update me on your progress by
