<prompt> Human: Throwaway.SO Im kind of in a shitty situation right now, and Im not sure what I can do about it. A few months ago I came home from college for a few days when I found an overdue electricity bill with my name on it. I had no idea where this came from, so I asked my mother what I should do. She just flat out told me that shes been using my social to pay for her utilities because no one wanted to sell to her since her credit was so bad. I dont really believe her story. Shes always been terrible with money, and has a history of lying to people for money. She didnt even seem to care I that was upset she didnt ask me before doing this, or even intend to tell me what shed done. She wont even tell me how long this has been going on. Im afraid shes going to begin taking out debts in my name she cant pay back. Is there anything I can do?BG: Im a college sophomore with under 10k of debt, scholarships that cover most of my tuitionroomboard, but no job outside of school.  <response>: She is probably lying to you and has probably opened multiple accounts and credit cards with your identity. Pull your credit report immediately and find out what she has done. From there, your choices are to either pay all the bills yourself, let them ruin your credit and get you sued over debts, or file a police report over the identity theft and have the fraudulent accounts closed.
