So Family Member "A" who lives in PA committed identity theft and fraud against Family Member "B" (who lives in NJ) by opening multiple CCs in their name. Amount over 15,000$ (yikes)
"A" has admitted to the theft (via texts/recorded phone calls) to "B" and other family members.
"B" found out about the fraud in December 2018 and has been trying to work it out with "A" without involving police, however "A" is not able to pay back the money, basically refusing to do anything about it.
"B" had spoken to one bank collector (and is planning to call the other CC companies about the fraud) back in December about the fraud where they explained over the phone the CC was not open by them, but the one bank is refusing their fraud claims, refusing to close the account, demanding "B" pay back the amount owed on the CC.
The rest of the family has tried to convince "B" to file a police report but they do not want "A" to go to jail and "B" has no way to afford the debt incurred by "A".
Since "B" does not want to file a police report to clear their name, is it possible to have "B" file bankruptcy to clear the debt in their name and avoid "A" going to jail?
