Today, I found out my identity was stolen. The person got credit cards in my name and didn't pay the bills, which has ruined my near perfect credit. The worst part about all of this is that I can't turn the person in. It's my mom, and sending her to jail wouldn't really work out for anyone. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I received a call from a collection agency. Since I had no clue, I was ready to file a police report for stolen identity. I then called my mom only to find out she has been opening new credit cards with my information for 3 years and not paying them. My credit is ruined and I'm only 21. FML
Today, I learned why my credit score is so low. My mom stole my identity almost three years ago. Her excuse? "You didn't need good credit for anything anyways". FML
Today, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML
Today, I found out my credit card was maxed out to the penny, all thanks to purchases made on an online wine store. Apparently my mother was thirsty enough to steal from her own son. FML
Today, I discovered my own mother has been stealing money from me for months when I opened my savings box to find it empty. FML
Today, all of my credit cards were frozen due to fraud. The culprit? My own mother. She rationalized it by saying I "owed" her for raising me. She didn’t even raise me. My grandma did. FML
Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML
Today, I had to dump my girlfriend because of tons of trust issues that kept reappearing. Shortly afterwards, my credit card disappeared and I got to experience my first identity theft. All within 24 hours. FML
Today, I hid my credit card from myself so I wouldn't use it. Now I can't find it. FML
Today, my sister stole my credit card, used it to rack up a small debt, then told my mom she will pay me back in the future one day, “happily”. But not right now because she has better things to spend her money on. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

thats probably why she does what she does. If we didnt have consequences for breaking the law do you really think people would follow them as much as we do now?

my mom did the exact same thing to me while I was at school. we worked it out - I required her to pay off the balances asap and never, ever do that again. our relationship sucked for a while, but it's good now. Credit monitoring and forgiveness. :)

Well it will be useful to you, becasue you can get on with your life and get your credit record on track. And it works out for your mum because she commited a crime and needs to play for it.

first of all, turn your freaking mom in. she stole, she ruined your future, she deserves jail. period. forgiveness is great, certainly forgive her, but she broke a law, you need to let the law run it's course.

If you deny the charges while knowing who did it and do not turn her in, then you're an accomplice. You have to either do that, or pay ot and keep quiet about it. I would tell.

Wow... If it was me I would report her! What kind of parent modeling is that showing your kids that it is okey to do Identity theft just because they are using their kids information. Now your F***ed trying to fix your credit back up. BTW don't be aiding your mom you might get in trouble with the law too!

send her ass to jail. then when she gets out sue her ass. call the credit card companies and tell them that your mom is in jail for identity theft and that your cards were fraudulent.
