<prompt> Human: I am 20 years old and I recently attempted to rent an apartment for the first time and was quickly denied due to outstanding debt. I checked my credit history and I have a 3000 overdue power bill... I confronted my mother about this and she says she opened the account and that she would take care of it.. It has been months and she is still not paying the bill. I know this is a clear case of Identity theft but how do I proceed? Am I held accountable for the bill? Im also pretty sure the account was opened prior to me turning 18.. Any advice would be appreciated.  <response>: she admitted to you that she opened it. its her responsibility, not yours. File a police report.she obviously doesnt care about the consequences of her actions, and she obviously doesnt care that she fucked you over if shes not fixing it.
