    Possible Fraud on student Loan

    So my ex girlfriend used my information and "electronically" signed my name for a student loan back in 2007. I'll admit i co-signed on 1 but the other 2, i think she may have just filled out the information without me and illegally signed my name. Now its 2014, and i had to give Sallie Mae almost 9k to get my name off as a co-signer. I Spoke to them to ask them about when the student loans were signed because i remember signing 1, but the other 2 i don't remember. Anyways, is there anyway I can sue her for fraud since i technically did not have to be there for her to sign any of this especially since she had access to all of my information from the first one?

    This would probably have to be done back in Ohio where it took place, but any thoughts or idea's would be helpful. that 9k would have helped me pay for my recent injuries hospital payments.

    All wanted to do was try and help someone i cared about and this is what it turned into. Never again will i co-sign anything for anyone, not even when i'm married. I'll buy it and put it in my name, but i will never be liable for someone elses finances.

    Sorry to hear.
    Without being familiar with OH law, I still think you should. Maybe also check with police and DA first bc it should also be a criminal offense, and the burden of proof is higher (beyond reasonable doubt vs preponderance of evidence). This way it is already proven when filing civil claim. Just a thought...

    That he "co-signed" on. Might happen when someone forges your signature for a loan

    Well, he didn't say. Wouldn't make much sense to pay off a loan that is current.

    Could impact possibility of future loan or mortgage applications due to income to debt ratio even if gf didn't default.
