For some reason she has been sent a few CC aplication form recently.
What would happen if she applied for one? She wouldn't be liable for any debts she incurred would she?[

hopefully they will just see her DOB and it will be rejected

What happens if she put a fake DOB?

Well, no. But you might be. Since they'd probably accuse you of applying in her name! and asking you how she managed to apply, get one and buy things on it without you noticing!

So I think you're safe Grin

And if you were thinking of anything, erm, creative - it's not worth it Grin

You think a nine year old would think to put a fake dob on a credit card application?

You know they do credit checks, so it would show up at that point, don't you?

And what would she buy?

If 'she' bought stuff and when you got the bill, you said oops, was my nine year old - they'd be looking into it all very carefully. What was bought, when, where, who was with her...

Would be a police job.
