Idiot needs help!


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

I shared a limo with 2 people for an evening out. I do not know them very well. I did not book the limo service. I put my credit card down as a deposit when I entered the limo; I signed a blank credit card slip. I assumed the two other people had done the same. There was no prior agreement as to how the cost would be divided. I was surprised to find the entire charge on my card. The other people are refusing to pay. I tried to dispute through the credit company and they would not dispute the charge. I think I have to go to small claims court. I have no address for the other occupants. What are my chances of getting a favorable judgment in this case? Do I have any other legal recourse?

A # 1 - slim and none

A # 2 - nope

If you took it in the shorts, look at this as a lesson learned and move on.

Your case won't be heard if you can't find the addresses to serve the other passengers.
