Complaint narrative:
USAA added my then-girlfriend ( future spouse ) to my credit card as a secondary authority with all the authority and responsibility matching a primary owner. We used the card regularly for a decade with joint purchases and payments, but when we began a divorce she called in and claimed she was fraudulently added to the card. USAA could not produce the required signature to hold her responsible for the debt and they removed her from the account dumping the debt on me during the worst possible time. They can not produce a reason as to why or how the signature was not collected or maintained. They only repeated we added her on the phone at your and her request and did not either ask for a signature or maintain one ( they do not have the recorded call for this ). They maintained all through divorce proceedings that this could not be undone and she would be held liable jointly for the debt. Due to their fault of not collecting, maintaining, or notifying us about the absence of a signature from my soon-to-be ex-spouse, they have transferred XXXX of dollars of extra debt into my name alone. I have talked to the CEO 's office twice and they refuse to resolve on their side. I have recorded calls, dates, and documentation.
