Hi Carri,
I'm so sorry you have this to face. But "if" I were you, I'd report him for
credit card fraud. As hard as that may be, it is the only "right" thing to
do.....for you as well as for him. He needs to be responsible for his actions
and the only way he will be (in my opinion) is to have the court order him to
pay the bill. If you don't report him, he will most likely continue this
behavior. Who knows what will happen next? How big the scam will be?
and......who will have to pay for it then? I am a bit confused about what you
said the credit company told you. In California (where I live) once you
report your account to be lost, stolen or any fraud involved.....you are only
responsible for the first $50.00 of the fraudulent balance. I don't know
where you are, but I'd check into it.
This is hard, I know. I can't imagine having a brother who would be so
uncaring for my welfare, not to mention putting me in financial hardship.
Since he certainly didn't care enough about you and what he was doing to you.
I would not concern myself for what he must go through with the legal system.
What do your parents have to say? Have you told them?
I hope this helps you. I'm sorry you must go thru this. But remember, "what
doesn't kill us, makes us stronger". Don't ask where that came from, it just
popped into my head, I remember my Mom saying it to me.
Wishing you strength for your convictions.
Smiles & hugs,
Kris~
