<prompt> Human: Hey guys, i finally calmed down and need some advice.I finally decided to sign up for credit karma since i have a pretty big purchase coming up and wanted to check out my credit. I saw almost 10k in credit cards opened in my name which are in collections which im pretty sure my mom took out since she did the same thing to my brother a couple years back that caused him to lose out on a job due to not passing a credit background check. He had to settle for a job at Walmart making 9 an hour whereas the job he got denied from due to the bad credit background check was going to be around 15 an hour.Im lucky that the job i have now working at a gas station for 8.5 an hr didnt have a credit check.When i confronted her about it, first she tried to play it off then she said i owed her for bringing me into this world and that is how she will be repaid. In addition she takes almost 40 of my paycheck every two weeks even thought i pay for pretty much everything i use except rent.What are my options here? SHould i tell the CC companies that its fraud and they should remove it? I dont want my mom to get into any trouble. Any help is much appreciated.EDIT GUYS!!! I WILL NOT REPORT HER TO THE POLICE. STOP TELLING ME TO DO THAT AND TELL ME SOMETHING ELSE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!!!  <response>: If you do not report it to the police, you will be held responsible for the debt. The CC company will likely do NOTHING about this fraud unless they have a police report. You should call them and explain the situation and ask them what steps will be necessary to clear your name. Your mother has willingly stolen your identity and committed a felony. Your financial future is now in jeopardy for what could be years to come if you do not take action TODAY.Your mom needs help. Trying to resolve this situation and clear your name will not happen by trying to keep your mom out of trouble. Im sorry you are facing this situation...you have some very tough choices ahead of you but they must be made. I wish you the very best!
