I Got The Police To Arrest My Parents 🥺💔 Reddit Stories

Some credit card companies will switch that to the family member if you get a police report. It’s called family fraud. Some USA states will jail for this type of fraud, some won’t.

You can report that as fraudulent on your credit reports

Damn 60k and they didn’t need the person to fraud them is scary

My stepmother asked me if she could temporarily open a power bill in my name when i was 17, i asked why her or my father couldnt, both had outstanding bills with the company. I refused and said it wasnt my problem and that if they couldnt pay it when it was their names, how would i know thwy wouldnt do that to my name. My dad owed less than 300$ so he paid and it was over. Stepmom stayed salty about that for a long time

Identity theft for credit fraud is awful as it is, but doing it to your own child?!? HOLY CRAP!

This was a common thing in the US, so many kids found out when they turned 18 that their credit was already destroyed. Most companies denied putting children on utilities, had to be 16 years of age.

My son in law has a police record against him since he was around 6 weeks old. He has the same name as his father and grandfather. The father used his social security number to keep from going back to prison. Anyone who stumbles across it just laughs and tells him he has to prosecute his own father so they don't have to deal with it.

My mom did this with utilities and internet service to me. I turned 20 and went to move out and found out I had a 340 credit score and thousands in collections. I'm still trying to recover and I'm now 33

stop being around those people they are not family

[GhostieToasterStrudel]

The aunt was clearly the smart and responsible one in that generation of their family

[Dukex]

My reply would be. "It's MY house now. I'M the one paying for it".

[GreenKnight]

The bulk of society would truly be surprised at how many narcissistic parents do this to their children

I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself against your parents, just remember you did the right thing.

I've heard about parents taking out credits cards and stuff like that and just messing up their child's credit before they are even old enough to get a credit card or loan. I've also heard that a family member will do you over before a stranger. I wonder if it happens when child and parent have the same name names

I'm in the same situation.
My mother used my brother to order me a phone in my name.
They faked the signatures, and phone calls.

Also, the electricity is the same.
My mother is hiding the bills. All of them.
I have yelled and screamed at her because she is telling me she is going to pay them off and she never does.
Worst part?
I gave her the money to do it.
She never did. She is buying herself clothes and jewelry.
I'm going to call the police this week and ask what I can do.
I'm seriously angry.

My stupid ex SIL did this all 4 of her kids, when they were young kids. Older and grown, ruined credit!

Just a PSA for anyone who doesn't know, do not power wash your composite roofs, the one in the video looks like a composite but it is a shake roof(i had to rewatch to see that). but fr dont power wash a comp roof, shit will be fucked.

This is common in low income families. Using the baby's social security number for bills and such. My parents did it to me and I also discovered it in college. It took me years to talk to my parents willingly again. Now it's more than the requisite 7 years past the last account closed and my credit is super good.
