<prompt> Human: Hey guys, This is part of a pretty long, complicated, and personally depressing story. I am posting here for some specific help.The short version of the story, is my mom stole my identity while I was in college...a lot. I am talking credit cards, store cards, pay pal accounts, book clubs, movie clubs, all of that stuff.She did this for a few years while I was in college. I never checked my credit report or did anything to notice it. I was a student, had a student credit card with a 300 limit. I generally had a balance of 50 - 100 that I was paying on time thinking I was helping my credit for the future.I tried briefly to work it out with my mom, and that didnt work out. I filed charges, and she was charged with identity theft, and fraud.A couple years later, I am still struggling a lot credit wise.My credit score is currently sitting around 515 ish.I have not current credit cards.I have 130k in student loan debt that I was supposed to refinance after college, which I no longer can.I still have collections on my account, even though I have sent court documents, police reports etc.I cannot get any new credit cards, not even the ones that require a deposit. They generally reference we have had problems with you in the past...I recently went to one of the law firms that help with this stuff, but so far they are just sending out disputes, they dont really seem to think my case is anything special and are just doing the normal tricks. Nothing has worked out yet.So...how do I build my credit at this point?Thanks.  <response>: Freeze your credit yo!
