Mom Used My Name To Get A House Without Me Knowing

A few weeks ago I got a letter from a debt collector saying that I owe for a electric bill in a state I never lived in. So I called the police, and told them it wasn’t me. Few days later the detective called me and told me, that I had a house in that State, and that the house haven’t paid rent. He said that someone went to court for me and everything. I told him I never did anything like that, I never been there. So a few more days passed, and he called me back, and said he has proof that my mom was using my ID and SSN. I told him was he sure, he said spoke to her, and she said that I did have a house in that state, and that I was just trying to get it removed from my credit by calling the police. I told him I never lived there. He said it was definitely her, and her husband went to court saying he was going for me. He asked if would I Press charges. I told him no, I don’t think she would do that. He said he could press charges himself, because she shouldn’t take advantage of me like this. And that he would call her one more time to talk about it.
I feel so bad about all of this. I didn’t know she would do something like this. I think I will call him back and tell him that I let her use my name. I don’t know if I would get in trouble for saying I let her. I really don’t want anyone to get in trouble, especially my mom. She said I should have just told her to pay it, she said would have paid it, but I didn’t even know she did this. I’m in so much stress about this right now. If she gets charge, how much time would she get? I really wish I never did this.
