Narcissism Glossary
debts and cosigning forced into your name
💳 Coerced borrowing is demanding your name, loans, cards, or guarantees because you're family or partners — with threats of cutting you off or worse if you refuse.
Often seen in situations like these
"Don't you trust your own family?" — and the phone line and loan go in your name. Refusal draws threats of severed ties.
When this happens, try this
💡 Don't hand over your ID, banking credentials, or phone verification codes. If a loan or guarantee already went through without your knowledge, verify with the financial institution and consult a legal aid office (LawHelp.org) on how to respond.
