My parents used my name to apply for Sky internet. Can this harm me?

The are using their own bank. They just had sky before but they got into debt with it so used my name behind my back.

They said they didn't use my date of birth but I don't know if they were lying. I am worried about credit scores and things. If they don't pay Sky I don't want to be left with the debt. I asked them to take it out my name but they refused to. I am really scared. I can't do anything otherwise they will kick me out. I don't know what to do. They say they will change my name after it's installed but I don't trust them. Am I just overreacting?

I might want Sky for myself one day. I don't want them to use my name.

What should I do. I feel worthless and taken advantage of.

What should I do? When I say it's not fair they say, "life's not fair" and I get very angry. I feel so trapped.

    If they don't pay, it'll affect you, and not just with Sky. . Doesn't sound like they have a good track record. Not much you can do as long as you're living at home, though.

    This is FRAUD plain and simple. You did not apply for it and it will affect your credit score if they miss payments.

    lovely parents who will kick you out when they are breaking the law.

    Not much you can do about it if you want to stay at home.
