<prompt> Human: What can I do? What should I do? I do not have a great credit score and as long as they make payments regularly it will not get worse. I am pretty sure they only did this because they have an outstanding bill in their name with this energy company and cant have gas turned on without paying past owed amount. Just a guess though. I do not necessarily want to cancel the energy, but if I dont and things go bad them not making payments and my credit score going down can I do anything about it to clear my name? I think that if I had knowledge of it being turned on in my name it would fall back on me if things went south. As in if I went to fight it a few months down the road ifwhen they failed to make payments, I could not use plausible deniability as a defense. If I dont cancel it now, is there anything in the future I can do to clear my name? This person knows that I know. I am confused as to what to do.Assistant: Call the gas company. Tell them you saw this on your credit report. Tell them to fix it.Human: Thank you for the reply. I recieved a bill today at my house for service at this family members house. They just moved there about a month ago. I dont want to shut off their gas, and screw them over. I am trying to build a better relationship with this person and do not mind helping them out. I am more furious about them not asking beforehand. I guess what I am looking for is a way to protect myself if they do not keep up with payments.  <response>: Frankly, it sounds like they have no qualms about taking advantage of you. This family member clearly doesnt care about building a better relationship with you if theyre risking your financial future by opening up accounts in your name. Youre not the one screwing them over. Theyve screwed themselves over by committing fraud.
