My parents used one of my credit cards to pay a bill and they never told me. I called the company and reported it as soon as something seemed suspicious, and my parents only told me that they had used the card afterward.

Can I call them and tell them that? Will they end the fraud investigation and can they just send my parents a bill for the money? Or do they have to complete the investigation and file charges against them?

my exhusband left me for a woman he met on the porn site Fling.com and he furnished their rented house by credit card, bought cars and pay utility bill and everything with cash advances. Now he is attempting to sell the stuff he bought on the credit cards which he never even made one payment to. His cards are up in the 20,000 range with no attempt to pay and he is leaving the state . Who can I tell about the fraud?

I checked my annual credit report and there are things on there that can’t possibly be mine. Who do I contact for help with this?

Ok, here’s a simplier question.. How does the credit card company find out who stole a credit card and made charges? It happened at Ralphs

I finally got a credit report, and I noticed it doesn’t appear on my history. My card was stolen six years ago, and someone used it to charge a lot of computers on it. Would this still effect my credit score? How can I get verification or proof that it happened, or has it just disappeared

Thanks in advance

Guru asked:


Do local police seriously investigate credit card fraud?
For amounts say around $700 do local police departments investigate credit card fraud or do they not usually bother? At what amount do they care?

How about bank companies and credit card companies, do they investigate it for amounts around $700.

My card was stolen last week and although they said I will be reimbursed, I was just wondering if they will investigate such a small amount. The card was stolen to make purchases online, so there is no real identity of hte person, will they be able to track them down?

How long does it take to investigate?

My teacher in my Economics class gave us a handout and we need to research on this. A man at his workplace took down credit card information, and used it to purchase an item online for 180.00. What we have to find out is if it is likely this case would be investigated, and what the consequences or punishments are for this action, as well as how likely he’d be caught. Does anyone know the details? Would an insurance agency typically not go full out on a transaction this low? In my opinion, i would think not because it wasn’t a HUGE amount of money but I may be wrong.

What are the types of credit card fraud and what is the best way to prevent it? Just wondering since I just saw on my credit report that my ex husband had used my social security number, on all things, doctor’s bills and never paid…and this was 4 years AFTER the divorce.

A relative may of committed credit card fraud and I was wondering if the bank would ask that the debt be paid, or drop the issue at a certain dollar amount, or have law enforcement intervene. If law enforcement was to get involved, what would they typically do?
