<prompt> Human: So, back in 2007, when I was still in college, my mother asked if she could apply for a Discover card in my name because she wanted to help pay for college and that was the only way she could do it. I, of course, said okay. She later told me that she got a gas station card in my name just for herself. I didnt fuss about it. Then she got another.Flash forward to 2011, Ive just moved to L.A., want to buy a car, need my credit lines open, etc. I call her and ask her to send me the cards. She tells me that while she finished paying off the school stuff, she had continued to use the card for herself and would need some time to pay it off--a couple of weeks, perhaps. She had done something nice for me by covering a few grand in college, so of course I said okay.I never got my cards. I moved back to NY a while later, asked for the cards again. No dice. In March of this year, I gave her three months to finish paying everything off and to give them to me at the end of June. She did nothing. Four weeks ago, I once again asked her to send them. She said she would have them out in a week. Nothing.Had a firm talk with her earlier today, demanding she pay them off, send me the login info so I can make sure theyre paid off, and then destroy the cards. She lost her mind and began screaming so that I couldnt understand a word, and then she hung up. A little suspicious, I went and signed up at Credit Karma to check up on things. Turns out that in addition to the three cards I knew about only one of which I okayed she took out an ADDITIONAL THREE credit cards in my name that I knew nothing about until this afternoon.Its not like she hasnt been able to pay them off. During the past several years shes taken many long vacations and bought many expensive things. But still she wont return my cardspay and cancel them.She hasnt missed any payments, nor do I expect her to, but thats not the point.I dont believe I have any written correspondence regarding this mater since it was all discussed by phone but Im checking. I dont have a relationship of any importance with my mother, so causing friction isnt an issue. I just want my cards paid off and sent to medestroyed.I dont know what to do, and I would be extremely grateful if anyone could toss some advice my way.Edit Update: I lit a fire under my mothers butt by warning her that if she didnt clear the cards by Saturday, Id be involving the police. It appears that she is transferring the balances somewhere else. Where, I dont know--and frankly dont care. Again, it only appears this way at the moment. Shes sent me a scanned confirmation pagefor the transfers. She also sent me the login info for all the credit cards. Ive logged into all but one, and there are still hefty balances on each. Im assuming it just takes some time to update. But, well see.  <response>: Deny all knowledge of their use. You never gave your mom permission to do anything.
