Mother stole my identity and racked up 18k worth of SSA debt
Location: Bridgeport/CT
I recieved a letter in the mail telling me i was provided disability during my youth and some after 18 and they came to a verdict i never needed it and they want the 18k back. i was so shocked and confused i called my mother the only other person who would know to confront her and she pretty much ghosted me told me something along the lines of "meh theyll waive it leave me alone about stuff like this". This lady had me showing up to doctor appointments convincing me it was regular check up when it was SSA appointments the whole time....When i explained it to the SSA guy trying to collect he didnt seem to care told me "she used your identity so youll be the one to pay it" so i started the waiver request forms ...i went military at 19yrs(Now a vet 31yrs) so i should be able to prove not a single dollar went to me and all to her but wtf man...
Even if they waive it can anyone offer me some way to take some legal action against my mother here? she just used my identity racked up debt told me deal with it and has ghosted me ever since and RECENTLY they took my entire tax return over this....i just had a baby...theyre going to garnish my wages next and like....someone help me bring this women in front of a judge for this
Edit: This might sound petty but i want to go scorched earth on this lady, anyone know my options of suing on top of everything else? good lawyers etc?
