Credit Card Bust

  10/13/2023

Hey, My mom opened a credit card in my name and spent over $7000. What should I do? Tyler R. 

Whoa Tyler R. Well color me identity theft! If you don't plan on paying on this credit card, then I would suggest you protect yourself by reporting it. The fact that Mom allegedly did this, then I wouldn't count on her to pay. Everybody loves a freebie! Obviously there's a reason why the card wasn't opened in her name (bad credit, escaping the law) If you do nothing, it can happen more than once, affecting your financial future.
