<prompt> Human: Dry version:Was in a 14 year relationship, never married. We broke up about a year ago. Went to finance an automobile this past week - poor credit score. Come to find my ex took out credit cards in my name about 9 years ago without me knowing it, put me in debt about 40,000. He had been making minimal payments on them up until about a month ago so I have yet to be contacted until very recently. Statue of limitations for identity theft in FL is 5 years. However, some of the debt not all was incurred within the past 5 years. But can I even do anything with my only real basis for a claim being ignorance? Dont really even want to get into the mundane details, but I will provide more detail if needed.  <response>: You can file a police report, and sue him for the debt within the SOL.
