What to do if when I turned 18 my mother went behind my back and put an electric bill in my name?

She then never payed any of the bills and then when I went to get electric in my name for my apartment and found that there was an out standing amount. It was then added onto my first bill so I paid it. When I found out what she did I asked her to pay me back since she was the one who did it. Now it’s been 9 months and she is now refusing to pay me back. Is there anything I can do?
