Ex husband is hurting her credit rating

My friend told me today her ex husband is applying for credit in both his name and his ex wife's and is sometimes defaulting, resulting in my friend getting unwanted threatening mail through her front door.
I told her I was sure she could apply to have her ex husband removed from her affairs so that his fiscal behaviour did not impact on her credit rating.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Many thanks
Sam

    Hi, surely if he is applying for credit in her name without her knowledge and signature it is fraud? Tell her to contact the police and report him, then let the credit agencies know. I'm sure someone will be along soon who knows the legal situation.
