<human>: My friend is a 22 year old male living in the southern United States. His parents have bad credit and are not responsible with money. They started opening credit cards in his name, without his knowledge, when he was 16. Currently they have about $5000 credit card debt in his name, but he doesn't even have the cards or know hardly anything about the accounts.  

He has a decent job, making around $2000-2500/month (rough estimate), he's got his own apartment and is getting married in December. Now that he's bought a new vehicle and starting to think about buying a house, he's discovered this debt that's following him from his parents. He has very little debt on his own, mostly from the new car, but will be paid off quickly.  

He is afraid to try to close the accounts because there's still $5000 owed, and he can't come up with that kind of money easily.  

His parents are currently harassing him because they're trying to open another credit card in his name, but the bank is requiring that he come show ID to finalize the card and he refuses. They are constantly calling and texting him, cussing him out, saying he's ruining their vacation (they were going to use this new card to pay for the vacation) and they wanted to get a new washer/dryer/refrigerator and can't do any of that until he helps them open this card. So they're harassing him and calling him selfish, because he's refusing to put another $3000-4000 on top of the $5000 in credit card debt that they've already put in his name.  

My main advice is to talk to a lawyer, but (1) he can't really afford one, and (2) he's desperately trying not to let this ruin his (already strained) relationship with his parents. Sadly, it's putting a serious strain on his relationship with his fiance.   
  
I think he's kind of giving up at this point, even talking about paying the debt off himself. If anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it!!

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
