She escaped her abuser. But not before he buried her in debt. This is how coerced debt haunts survivors of domestic abuse.

When Sarah bought a $25 sweater, she didn’t know she was already tens of thousands in debt—debt her abuser took out in her name. 99% of DV survivors face #FinancialAbuse.

Now, IL HB3352, the Survivor Financial Freedom Act to protect survivors from #CoercedDebt is on to the Gov’s desk bit.ly/3HqxA0o

This year is the year of 'coerced debt' for me.
#CoercedDebt is debt that was taken out in ur name, without ur consent or knowledge, and/or u were forced, coerced/threatened into taking out. It's a common & devastating outcome of #economicabuse which up to 99% of #domesticabuse victims experience.

CFPB To Create Rule To Aid Victims of Coerced Debt, Financial Exploitation of DV Survivors and Older Americans Inaccurate credit reporting can wreak havoc on victims of “coerced debt,” which occurs when an abuser uses coercive control or identity theft to incur debt in the name of an individual.

“We are pleased to see the CFPB take a meaningful step to address the critically important issue of #CoercedDebt,” said Carla Sanchez-Adams. “Victims of coerced debt have difficulties obtaining much-needed resources such as housing & employment." #ProtectConsumers #DV www.nclc.org/cfpb-to-crea...
