They didn’t feel bad maxing the cards out☹️ I’m sorry this happened to you. File a police report though, it will protect you in the long run

Definitely report it. That’s financial abuse.

Is it okay if a parent does it to help get a credit score started for their child and to teach them about it like just if they have good intentions?

The thing that matters is that you reported it. Your dad is mad because he’s going to get in trouble as he rightly should. Financial abuse is financial abuse. And being smart and careful can help you build credit, but not if someone is fucking it up like your dad is doing.

My dad owns his own company so he was using it for equipment and stuff but it’s still at 3k? Idk why he couldn’t just get a loan or use his own credit (but idk he has horrible credit)
