<prompt> Human: Link to original thread: Sorry for disappearing from the last thread, its been a crazy weekend, to say the least. But here is the state of things as of now:1. Had credit check done. Parents had opened a credit card in my name. They apparently opened it to pay the bills and since my credit was good they got approved for a 8,000 limit not sure how good that is?. Anyways, they maxed it out, and to add insult to injury, the monthly payments for this credit card is the debt they asked me to help them with after they lost their jobs. So if I stop paying it, they wont be paying it, and I will be the one that gets hurt in the long run.2. I wont be letting them buy a house in my name. I wont help them with rent, and Im not going to offer to live with them to help with living expenses. At this point Im not sure what to do, except scream at them, because they appear to be completely oblivious to the fact that their actions were wrong. When confronted, their response was just, Well, they wouldnt let us apply for anymore credit cards.3. My family will not be privy to any of my financial status in the future. They dont get to know about new jobs, promotions, anything. From now on, all they need to know is I have a lot of debt I do, and that Im doing my best to pay it down I am.Edit:4. I will be trying to find a way to get medical professionals involved and save my dad from my moms care. As stated in comments in this thread, she is blocking him from getting the medicinecare he needs. I will be looking into how to help him, either social services work, disability, reporting abuse, etc. I might just try ALL of them: whatever works to help him quickly.5. I dont know if Im going to report them for fraud... I know this should be a no brainer, but that doesnt make it any easier.Thank you so so much to everyone who commented on the last thread and helped open my eyes to how bad this situation really was.Im really frustrated, and upset, and feel like trying to better my life has been a pointless endeavor, but Im going to keep on keeping on, and hopefully this too shall pass.Thank you, again. 3Edit: Sorry for the slow response. Im not used to subreddits that move so fast.Edit2: Well this kinda exploded on my way home from work... Thank you everyone for the continued advice, and the tough love. Im doing everything I can to protect myself financially moving forward, based on all of the feedback I have received. Assistant: Im sorry about this. Finding out that you have parents who are willing to destroy their childrens credit and financial health is an awful thing. Have you frozen your credit yet? I would do so immediately if you havent, otherwise they will keep opening credit cards in your name. Human: Im going to talk to my bank tonight about how to freeze my credit.I only have one credit card that I opened on my own, and that was to pay for my dogs chemotherapy. I still have a bit to pay left on that, so I want to make sure nothing gets messed up with those payments.  <response>: I can tell you from personal experience that if you dont press charges the credit card companies will ignore every piece of communication. You dont have to follow through but you have to at least make an attempt to correct the issue. Otherwise they think you approved it.
