<prompt> Human: Title says it all. I have proof that he opened up a card in my name and racked up 800 in debt. Im 22 and I have no issue reporting him to the police but my parents are trying to talk me out of it. All I want is my credit to be cleared. What are my options?Assistant: Your options are simple:Make it official, so the credit card company can wipe the fraud from your record probably landing your brother in trouble.orIgnore it.800 in debt is nothing. Especially if its not past-due, having himparents just pay it off will actually help your credit. Human: Im most definitely reporting it as I dont trust for a second he will pay the debt back. I was just curious if there was options that dont end with him in handcuffs. Like, can the debt be transferred to him?Assistant: No.The debt isnt the issue, no one cares. What they care about is the fraud committed to create the debt in the first place.There is no way to report someone for fraud without them being in trouble for it. How much trouble it results in, I cant say, but I can guarantee hes getting a warrant and a court date.Human: Stupid question, eh? Im just getting an immense amount of guilt thrown my way for even considering reporting him directly.  <response>: Im just getting an immense amount of guilt thrown my way for even considering reporting him directly.Whoever is trying to guilt you over this is condoning fraud and identity theft, which makes those opinions not worth considering.
