Today, I found out I'm on wage garnishment because my mother, who took out a student loan for me back in '05, didn't pay off the $2015 owed when she said she would. I got screwed over financially because of her. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, I told my mom I wasn't doing very good mentally and I was looking for some support. She decided to remind me of all of the things I still haven't paid her back for. I'm now an unpaid loan, not her daughter. FML
Today, I found out that my Mom had taken out a loan out on my car from the repo man taking my car away. FML
Today, my mom decided to go against every promise she's made to everyone once again and left us in financial ruin. How? She took advantage of my kindness, and didn't pay any of the money she owes me for driving my car, and for so much more. I'm more than $2,000 in debt now. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML
Today, I found out that the $200 I reluctantly gave to my mother so she could rent a house was paid to a scammer. Now she wants to live with me, in my one bedroom apartment. FML
Today, my mother came over again to help me work on my Student Aid application. She also brought over the savings bonds that she has been accumulating since I was born to help pay for college. Turns out they won't reach maturity until I'm thirty. She never bothered to check out this fact. I'm screwed for college. FML
Today, my mother woke me up and asked to borrow money. Still groggy, I mumbled where my money stash was. She took all $300 and refuses to pay me back because I'm her son and I "owe" her. FML
Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

While she did dick you over by not doing what she said she would, you shouldn't be relying on your mother to take out student loans for you anyway. If you're old enough to go to college then you're old enough to fill out the paperwork for a loan.

So you're moaning because your mum didn't pay of YOUR debt? Boo Hoo.

YDI for not reading the loan contract and realizing that your mom was a CO-SIGNER and YOU are ultimately responsible for your payments. Irresponsible, spoiled prick.

Get over yourself. You're an adult, it's time you started acting like one. Your mother was only the co-signer, so you are the one responsible for paying back the loan. It's time you started working two jobs and paying for your own school, just like everyone who doesn't have parents to take care of them has to.

Are you serious? My RENT is more than your debt and I live in a tiny/shitty apartment. Besides, if you walk down the street and ask people for a dollar (which I have done in really tough times) you can get that money in no time! While I do invoke all of # 71's opinions and defenses, you should really have been on top of your finances. Too many college kids feel so entitled - like paying tens (sometimes hundreds) of thousands of dollars is just what parents do. Reality check: people aren't going to hold your hand and just do things for you anymore.

But his/her mom said she was going to pay for that, regardless who has to pay for it. 2k is not that bad, is it?

I'm pretty sure it takes more than 4 years for them to start garnishing your wages...

To the people saying its op's debt I don't think that's what they mean. My take on this FML is that op's mom took out a loan when they were younger without their knowledge and spent it on something else
