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
Collection
Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

Wow, I'm going to have to say YDI for not turning someone in who is stealing your identity. Mom or not, she NEEDS to be reported for stealing your identity.

I'm in the same situation. even if you file police reports, she HAS to admit to it, and take responsibility. Everyone saying 'turn her in' doesn't understand that doesn't necessarily DO anything. The whole 'innocent until proven guilty' problem. And even if the Mom used her own address, and not the OP< the Mom can say the OP asked to use it, or that the OP did it without asking and the Mom had no idea about it. Even if it's connected to the Mom's bank account, they have to prove everything. It sucks. And then they get mad because 'How does your Mom know your social? No one should know it!" Uhm, usually the parents apply when the child is born. Either way it's beyond hard as ****, and I feel REALLY bad for you OP, cause like I said, I'm in the same situation, and it's about $60K right now...

The fact that it is going to be an uncomfortable situation is WHY you should turn her in to the cops. The rest of your family needs to deal with the fact that she did this, as well as that she deserves to be punished.
