<prompt> Human: Alrighty, so hypothetically say that your mother was struggling to raise three kids on a dead end job. She recently got evicted from her house and filed for bankruptcy and couldnt get approved for anything due to her terrible credit. So, she decides to use one of her childrens SSN to apply for various things. Not out of spite and not for personal gain but for things such as the power bill. However, times are tough and things dont get paid. Now you are 18 and looking at your credit report and see that you have a terrible credit score and really bad debt because of what happened in the past. You have no way of paying it off and its now affecting you from doing pretty much anything. You want to get rid of the debt but you dont want to report you were under eighteen because you dont want your mother to be prosecuted and go to jail. Is there anyway to get said debt removed without having to press criminal charges against your own mother? What if you live in two different states?  <response>: Speak with a lawyer.
