My husband’s ex (of 7 yrs.) & her daughter listed my husband as a reference on a car financing application. Unfortunately, the finance co. has contacted us regarding their whereabouts. We’re trying to gain more info. regarding the application, however, the finance co. is screaming “confidentiality” restraints. We’re afraid now that the ex may have done more that we don’t know about. Is there any recourse we can take?
