We have $20,000 in unsecured debt, and my wife will not follow a budget. She takes money out of our credit union account with her member card. I keep our checks locked up, and I have both teller cards. I'm sick of it. I want to get separate checking accounts, but she doesn't. What should we do? -- Ben, Tennessee Dear Ben: Your money problems are a symptom. The real problem is trust. She doesn't trust you to provide for her, and you don't trust her to be honest with you. Ditto for respect. Without trust and respect in a marriage, what's left? Not much. But all is not lost. The love you once had for one another (and perhaps still do) can be rekindled. But it's going to take more than separate bank accounts. Please watch your mailbox. I am send- ing you my book, "Debt-Proof Your Marriage." Please read it together, and I mean aloud, one page at a time. If you will do that, I am hopeful you can sal- vage your marriage, get your money back on track, and restore the trust and respect, too. Dear Mary: Several years ago, someone I know fraudulently used my credit card and ran up charges, and the account went to collections. After months of writing many letters, I finally got the black mark on my credit report removed. I am now involved in a lawsuit over this, and I need proof that these unauthorized charges and collection sta- tus were actually on my credit report. Unfortunately, I can't remember the bank that issued the credit card or the name of the collection agency. I didn't keep any of the paperwork or letters. How can I get a copy of my credit report from a couple of years ago? No one seems to know how to access a credit report from the past. Please help. -- Greg, email Dear Greg: Credit bureaus are con- stantly gathering information electron- ically into one big pool of data. This updates and overwrites previous data. When you or a creditor request a copy of your credit report, the credit bureau plugs in your social security number and out pops everything that is associ- ated with it as of that moment in time. If you didn't keep a copy of the report you received, you're out of luck if you think that can be reconstructed now. If you don't mind my asking, were you not aware that you are pro- tected by federal law against fraudulent activity on a credit card? Had you immediately reported the incident to cus- tomer service, by law, all charges would have been reversed, leaving you with no liability. That would have pre- cluded the matter going to collection. Now you are suing this Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate individual? For what? Where are your damages? To prevail, you will have to prove specif- ic financial damages. If you proceed without clear cut documentation of your dam- ages, I'm afraid you'll end up with nothing but a pile of attorney bills and court costs. Do you have a question for Mary?

Collision • At least four calls came in about a green 2011 GMC SUV that ran into the river bridge on Antelope Boulevard at about 10 a.m. Tuesday and then drove away.
