Mom Took Out Student Loans In My Name. What Actions To Take?
I went to university really young, at age 15. I was on scholarship and my state (Louisiana) had a program called TOPS that paid 100% of tuition. So I had no need for student loans at all.
I remember her talking to me about them, saying she'd pay them I think (at one point). But I didn't really even understand what a student loan was, so I just said okay.
I'm 28 years old now, and I had some life difficulties. I had to get back into school two years ago to finish. Found out about the student loans that way because I finally needed them. I had to pay the attorney general back $4k to even get into school because I dropped out the last semester I attended. And when I dug into it, I found nearly $30k taken out in my name. $30k completely unaccounted for. I never got that money. I was facing homelessness when I moved out, and she was still getting the student loan money.
She doesn't pay them. My score dipped to the 400s until I got back into grad school because of these loans. And I don't even know the process of figuring this out. Should I go to my school and collect the fee bills to see exactly how much she was getting refunded? Do they even keep that information (it was over ten years ago)? She's a lawyer too, to further complicate things. She's also a drug addict. I'm feeling lost on how to even fix this cause it doesn't feel right that I'm stuck paying back $30k that I never even touched.
