Its not identity theft but it is fraud. I dont think its so serious that you avhe to worry about it though. Just make sure you tell someone everthing. I think the most you might have to do is get a new service provider.

Run fast. Don’t look back.

You are not trying to pass yourself off as her, so no, it is not. You share the apartment, so there is nothing wrong to set up an account in her name since she was the one who instigated it.

Was it a test to see if you would do it? Or, is she just making a point that, technically, you committed ID theft, or is she actually accusing you?
It is not ID theft if you can prove that you did it at her request, and, if you did not do it in a way that you benefitted from the action at her expense. However, in the future, to be perfectly safe, to act in the place of another person, you should request what information the company needs from the other person such that they will deal with you instead of her. That way, all three parties are aware of what is happening and you should be completely safe.
But, if your roommate is using this as some type of powerplay against you, then you need a new roommate.

Your roomate is a psycho nutcase. Next thing you know, she will have a makeover to look like you, and she’ll keep a few rolls of duck tape handy to play Single White Female.
Pack. Move. Don’t look back. But do cut off the phone line as a farewell present.
