More details to this question:
My mother and step-father were authorized users on my Discover card over 20 years ago. They ran up over $10,000 in credit debt. My mother is now divorced and has been unstable and threatening retribution and will no longer make payments on her debt. Can I sue for fraudulent charges if Discover had never been in contact with me about credit limit increases or payments?

I don't see any fraud, but you can sue your mother for breach of contract, assuming that the stattue of limitations hasn't run, which depends on when she breached, i.e. when was the last time she made a payment on the debt.
