My friend's parents allowed her to use their identities to open up about 13 different credit accounts in their names. She kept up w/the payments and never fell behind, but her mother finally realized that she might have gotten in over her head. Her mother took the cards away, and started contacting all of the creditors, telling them that she never gave permission to her daughter to obtain all this credit in her name (even though she did). A couple of the creditors sent a form to the daughter, which she was supposed to sign to supposedly accept legal responsibly for the debt. She's afraid if she signs this form, that the creditor can then say she admitted to defrauding her parents, and have her arrested. There's no way she can now pay off all at once the money that is owed, and the parents are now unwilling to pay the debt. One of the creditors is already taking her parents to court. What are their options? They don't want to press charges against their daughter.
