Woman opens up about her parents’ mischief

Taking to her social media account under the handle @rollingwithmom on 2 July 2025, she filmed herself looking devastated and in tears after the discovery.

In the TikTok video, she got candid about her discovery, stating how parents had opened a credit card in her name without her knowledge and never paid it off, leaving her unable to open her own credit account. The emotional revelation has since gone viral, gathering over 1.6 million views within two days of its publication.

According to @rollingwithmom, she only found out about the unauthorised credit card when she attempted to secure her own credit account. When her application was declined, she was informed of the outstanding debt in her name.

@rollingwithmom expressed how she felt while taking to her caption as she also called out her parents on their actions.

"Why tf do banks even allow this thing! Check the birthdate to make sure it matches the person applying! I have not established credit for myself, and now I never will because someone already messed that up for me! I'm sooo heated!! My parents wonder if their children want nothing to do with them! It's reasons like this! Yea go ahead and mess my life up before I even have a chance to live it my damn self!!! You're clearly not even thinking about my future."

The financial misdeed has had serious consequences for @rollingwithmom, who now faces a significant obstacle in rebuilding her financial standing. With the credit card debt still lingering, her credit score has been severely impacted, making it difficult for her to access the financial opportunities she had hoped for, such as obtaining a credit card or loan.
