<prompt> Human: I need help. Sorry if this post goes back and forth. My brain is raddled and Im new to this.I am 22 years old female, turning 23 in a couple of months. I was 17 when I found out my sister stole my credit. I was in a hard position. For one, I didnt realize how important credit was being that I was 17. For two, I was still in High School and had no idea what to do. So with that being said, my mom just kind of brushed it under the table. As if it was no big deal at all.Couple years pass and I try to finance my first car. All I was approved for was a 2002. Not the best car, but it got me from point A to point B. I was also paying 24.9 interest... So after I paid off the car I was paying double for it after my interest rate.I finally realized how important credit was and that I needed to see what the damage was. I paid for Equifax and one other one? Not sure which one. I had an Entergy bill in my name, opened in 2008. I have a Cox Communication bill in my name, opened in 2008. 3 Capitol One credit cards. 2 or 3 Chase credit cards. And I think that may be it? In 2008 I was 12 years old... Obviously none of the things negatively affecting my credit were from me. Also, my credit score is at a 390... With a paid off car, because of my own doing.I then briefly spoke to someone who I thought could give me some advise. It was either put my sister in jail, who has adopted a daughter and now married, I let it go and have all of these things on my credit, or file for Bankruptcy. I was told ABSOLUTELY DO NOT FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY. I was really confused. My sister is 10 years older than me and the only sibling I have. She pretty much paid for everything as I was growing up, or maybe I did? I looked up to her. I love her. I mean...shes my sister. Fast fwd a cpl more years I decided after she fucked me over yet again in some sort of way I was going to pursue it and if they investigated enough and found out it was her, shed be going to jail. I was okay with that. I took action and called Chase first, they agreed that it clearly couldnt have been me that opened the credit cards due to public records indicating I was born in 1994. They were going to start the fraud process. They also asked if I would like to get the statements from the credit cards. I said absolutely, I would LOVE to she what she actually used MY money on. So I get excited, call Capitol One, thinking wow this is easier than I expected. Capital One didnt want to hear it. I was told, sorry but what youre telling me isnt enough proof that it wasnt you. We have a lot of people open credit cards, run them up and not want to pay them. I tell them the same thing Chase told me, you can look up public records. Look at my real date of birth, not the one she used. Still I got nothing. Couple weeks pass and I got the statements from Chase. She opened up credit cards just to go shopping. 200 at Champs. 120 getting her hair done. 50 to go buy another pair of shoes. 75 on gas. And it just goes on and on. I mean it would kind of be a diff story if she actually NEEDED the credit cards to help her survive, no. I have pages and pages of what seems to be a mini shopping spree for her. After this, Im completely done. I recently then look again and there is a credit card opened in 2014 from Capitol One. I have never in my life applied for a credit card, with that being said, it was her AGAIN. And all my Chase cards are still on my report. Just to add the cherry on top, my sister has obviously screwed her credit, my moms, my dads and now mine. Recently went on vacation with me and my boyfriends family, got mad and left. On her way out she stole my boyfriends money out of our end table. Has also used others people children on her taxes obviously without their permission. Steals from every place she steps foot in, LITERALLY. Shes an ex stripper who got addicted to the money quick and started sleeping around for more money.. Which whatever, I looked down on her for it, but like I said, she was still my one and only sibling. And no, she actually doesnt do any drugs. AT ALL. What I need is some serious advice. WHAT DO I DO TO GET THIS OFF OF MY CREDIT? Do I get a lawyer, which I really cant afford, I live paycheck to paycheck. Make a police report? File bankruptcy? Someone please send me in the right direction. Im 22 years old and cant do anything until this is gone. Not only is it hard enough to build credit but Im starting from lower than the bottom.Thank you guys. And sorry it was so long and all over the place.  <response>: Your credit is way too important to let someone damage like this. I think you need to open a police report at this point.
