Legal Question in Banking Law in Illinois

my husband did mortgage fraud on me in 2002 by taking out a $100k line of credit and copying and pasting my signature 1/2 inch above the signature line. No where else does my signature OR initials appear on the document while his name is all over every page. He even out down my birthday as being New Years Eve, which is wrong. i sold holes for a builder and ONLY did my mortgages with the Lenders who were my friends. I have been to the police, the State's Attorney, pressed my attorneys thru the divorce to do something, which 7 attorneys easily could see was FRAUD and said so. Nothing gets done. Who can I go to?? My last hope is to try UTUBE and appeal to anyone whereby humiliating our law enforcement into helping me. Our police are of the mindset that a husband has the right to use my name while married, which promotes identity theft. He also signed my name uo to $149k on checks and opened bank account and credit cards in my name. Who will do something?? Years ago I caught him embezzling from his company and it took a phone call to his parents to make him STOP. I informed the IRS because I found out now if you steal and don't pay money on stolen funds that the IRS has no statute on avilding paying taxes, The police say 20 years ago is too late to prosecute, so after 1 1/2 years I am still trying and need help. Needless to say, the ex also embezzled a considerable amount of our marital assets and since he is financially astute he is getting away with it. I want to sue the two major companies that allowed all this fraud thru their institutions. They have NOT cooperated with helping me. Can anyone give me some kind of direction? The ex laughs that he is sooooooo very clever and I am sooooooo very stupid. Who would imagine someone I knew for 40 years would be sooooooooooo terrible as to want to leave me penniless, i never did anything wrong.

You may be able to recover against the banks that allowed the actions to happen. However,

there are statutes of limitations that may prevent you from success. Please repost with supplemental information concerning when you learned of the fraud and id theft.
