What are the charges for credit card fraud?

What is the minimum amount of money that needs to be stolen to press charges for credit card fraud?

  • My debit card was stolen by someone who I considered a friend until about an hour ago. I learned that he went to chick-fil-a today and saw a chick-fil-a transaction on my account for $11.04. I talked to his roommate and asked him a few questions and he took me up to their apartment. On the coffee table, I found the receipt with the last four digits of my card and the charged amount of $11.04. I know for a FACT that my card was stolen by this guy. More charges are beginning to appear, and the amount looks like it will be around 100 bucks. Can i press charges against this guy for such a low amount? Some additional details are that- 1. I live in Texas 2. The card stolen was a debit MasterCard that was associated with my student loan account (that works just like a checking account) 3. His roommate has had numerous things stolen from him and said he is more than willing to testify in court. Can I press any serious charges against this guy, or should I just tell him to pay me $500 bucks and I wont do anything. I have the receipt in hand, and I'm sure I could easily obtain the tapes from chick-fil-a that show him paying with my card. I'm a 100% sure he stole my iPod Touch to, but I obviously can't prove that, so I'm hoping to get some amount of money out of this. Thanks for the help.

In some states just stealing the card is punishable, even if the knucklehead never uses it. He stole a credit device, the "key" to the balance of your student loan amount! When he done that ... he actually stole your account balance according to some states. The thief will beg and plead, stay strong and file the complaint with the police. Then testify against the sucker and get him put away. Ain't nothing worse than a barracks thief (dormitory thief for college people) When the thief strikes within their circle of friends ... gone too far, time to bust them hard.

If this really occurred, you would have contacted the police immediately. So, now that we've established that your post is a hoax, we can consider the legal aspects of your question. If you experienced a loss, you can seek restitution of any amount. If the person is arrested, you can press charges. Too, the issuing bank can also seek restitution, and press charges.
