Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : When I was a minor my father took out lines of credit in my name to include several cable accounts and a furniture rental account. I, being a young minor, had no idea what a credit score was but I knew that my father would NEVER pay off these accounts so I just let him do it. Now I have a family of my own and my credit score is steadily dropping due to my father claiming he would pay off the accounts but never does. I want to do something but I don’t want to throw my dad in prison. I can’t afford to pay off his $1,500 debt in my name and I know he’s not going to pay it. My next objective is to call his wife and let her know my intentions. I really don’t want to go down this route but I also don’t want to be responsible for putting my dad away with all his open cases he could be put away a long time.
