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
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I found out that, after offering to fill out my student aid application for me, my mother sent all of my personal information to a scam site instead. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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?

Of course it doesn't, but as he already specified, taking his own mum to court wouldn't help anyone, and especially not the already strained family relations.

So because she is his irresponsible selfish mother that apparently doesn't care about their "already strained" relationship, he should not hold her accountable?

Op you are an idiot. I don't give a big crap who it was. She committed a crime and needs to pay for it. you not turning her in is going to encourage her to do it again.

Well, it is good to know how many people in this world would turn in their own mum. Would you also sell your grandmother?

someone needs to spell correctly and not like a dipshits ^

Turning your mom in wont make it any better. Now, you know you cant trust her. Sorry for you. As far as your credit goes.... dispute the credit report. They have 30 days to trace it back to "you" ( which they won't be able to do since it's not yours) or they have to drop the negative marks. You get two rounds to do this. Get your credit back! I have great credit myself, it's important to keep.(: Good luck!

depends how much I'd get for my grandmother. It has nothing to do with love in this case, the mother is a prick who likes taking others money even her own children's for this matter. SEND HER ASS TO JAIL.

so, 66 if your mom committed murder, you wouldn't turn her in?

it kind of helps other people understand your opinion. but nobody wants you hear yours, so kindly shut your noise hole.

But if they find out he knew his mom did it, it would be considered fraud becuz he covered for her which basically make him an accomplice to stealing money

True. Bank of America offers that. it's call Premier Assist or something like that. whenever my credit has any activity going on or changes they call and email me and I can confirm it or deny it.

It's her mom. She raised her, turning her in would ruin the rest of her life, you are a ******* asshole. :)

If say, my mother or brother did that to me, I would yell at them to pay me back or I would call the cops on them.

yeah that sucks, i was in a similar situation. my dad did the same thing to me to hide debt from my mom. we worked it out tho, and my credit is fine now. just confront her, cancel everything and set up credit report monitoring

You should really turn her in. She broke the law and you have to pay for that.
