My grandson's mother used her son's identity to open a electricty account in his named without his permission, he found out and did what the utility company ask of him. He made out a police report and wrote a detailed report to the the utility company proving his innocence, and also proving that he hasn't lived with her for over 3 yrs.( He lived with me, his grandma) The utility company stated that they know that he did not open the account with them( they listened to the recording, etc but they will put the charges on his credit if he does not press charges on her; he's 21 and really does not want her to be arrested; Can the utility company make him press charges even though they know he did not approve of what she did? Or are they suppose to press charges?. He should not have to go thru this, and his mother won't call the company and confess! Please help!!!
