My husband, from whom I’m separated, opened my mail and stole convienence checks from a credit card that is in my name only. He is not a joint applicant on the card and he is not an authorized user. He forged my signature on 4 checks totaling over $6,500. I had no knowledge that he did this until I received my credit card statement. Capital One says I have to pay the debt because he is my husband. We do not live together and I had alreday filed for divorce. Am I responsible for this debt?

I recently discovered a charge for $944.65 to my Visa which I did not authorize. I called the bank’s customer service and was told to explain the situation in writing. In November when I was at the showroom, I used my credit card to pay a deposit of $944.00 on custom window treatments. I was not told by the salesperson that my credit account information would be put on file and the dealer would use it again nor did I authorize usage of the card for anything but the $944 deposit. I was given no agreement nor did I sign any document giving the dealer permission to make future charges on my credit card. In December, the installer showed up to our home with part of the order incorrect. Both my husband and I have called and e-mailed the sales rep several times but she has not gotten back to us. Meanwhile, my Visa was charged for the balance of $944.65 without my permission. The bank claims it’s a “quality of service” issue and will not investigate whether I did indeed authorize the charge. Was it legal for this merchant to charge my credit card a second time without my knowledge? Do I have any recourse?

I am a receptionist ata hotel in Nottingham. Last week there was a booking for about 20 people for a period of 10 days and they paid by credit card a total amount of £1680. We however got a phone call from a company in Nottingham claiming that the card used had been stolen and therefore they want their money back. Are we liable for paying them back the money or it`s the company that has been defrauded’s insurance company that pays them back?

My mom gave my sister her credit card to charge $800 for christmas for her and the kids. Her boyfriend took the card and charged over $6,000 on the card. Can we pursue him legally??? He made all charges online, so we don’t have proof it wasn’t my mom. This occurred two years ago and my mom is still attempting to pay off the debt and file a small claims suit against him.
