You say that she stole your identity
and opened up what 10 credit cards?
10, maybe more.
10, maybe more credit cards in your name?
Yes, along with a electricity bill, as well.
Utility bill and 10 credit cards?
Yes.
You said that you wanted the focus to be
on the relationship then let's talk about the relationship.
Did you hijack your daughter's identity?
No, I did not.
The electric--
Okay, so you didn't open 10 credit cards in her name?
No, I did not.
She was aware of the one to start her credit
when she was at school.
I did the electric bill so she could have
a place of residency, you knew that.
Well that,
look there aren't versions of the truth.
Did she or did she not open credit cards in your name?
Yes, she did.
And they weren't for you, she had the credit cards.
Yes, she had the credit cards the whole time.
We actually have some video tape about that,
so let's take a look at that.
This is my journal,
almost all of these pages are filled
with the identity theft my mom put me through.
I spent my whole summer going through calling people
and making sure all of this was taken care of.
I've made police reports.
As you can see, fraud right there.
She's been putting credit cards in my name since
the day I turned 18.
I think my mom opened up at least 10 credit cards.
It was close to $3,000 or $4,000.
This document right here,
this is one of the credit cards she tried to pay
the electric bill on this one.
I wanted to make sure that a 100% that it was her.
She went to a local gas station that I know is in her area,
a grocery store, and one of her favorite restaurants.
I know for a fact this is her.
It's been this whole process for almost two years now.
It's consumed my life,
I have to do it to get my name back
and recover from what my mom has done.
Well, she seems to have and she brought along
the journal where all of this is documented.
The very page where she says fraud here
and the amount due and the different credit cards
and her conversations with Medicare.
All of these things that are documented with dates
and times and receipt numbers and all.
She seems to have this very well documented
that says you did open multiple credit cards in her name.
I did not, I opened two and she was aware of those.
(audience laughing)
To start credit.
And did you put the utilities in her name?
Yes, I did.
Because I was told 'cause she was going away for school,
that she needed proof of residency because she was 18
to continue to get insurance.
Well, this is the energy bill in Taylor's name.
The account status as of 10/12/2017,
the amount due $999.65.
It was opened in your name, did it get paid?
They're still in the process of trying to pay it
and make sure everything's together.
It was originally $1,103, I believe.
Uh-huh, well that's months and months old
so that's a black mark on your credit, right?
Yes.
Who was supposed to pay that bill?
She was.
I was, absolutely.
But you didn't pay it?
No, 'cause she had the amount changed,
well to the address that she is currently living.
And she is still under my insurance,
under the Medicaid under our county,
which that is technically fraud.
I'm actually not, I went and changed it last year.
