What is the name of your state? Texas
Over a week ago I did a stupid thing and placed my purse on the trunk of my car and in my morning rush to drop off kids at Day-care and get to work on time I drove out of my drive way with it still on the trunk of my car. Thinking I just left my purse at home all day, I didn't do anything until that evening and realized what I had done. I immediately called my bank and cancelled my checking account debt card and another banks Credit card. Well when doing so they informed me of $395 in charges that were pending to clear on my checking account from that morning and another $165 in charges on my Credit Card that posted on my account from that morning. I immediately disputed the charges and explained what happened to them. My Credit Card account was closed and I have signed all the Fraud documents, etc. that I was asked to sign. A police report was filed that evening by a county sheriff and we were assigned an investigator. The next day I went to our bank and showed proof of a police report and signed all fraud papers necessary. The following day our Checking account was credited for the fraudulent charges and my Credit Card has reversed all charges, etc. So we have been able to get back all the money that was stolen from us, but my guestion is if this person is caught, and is charged with fraud, what kind of legal action can I take against this person. Can I sue them for any other money I am out because of what they did. i.e. bank fees to stop charges, ordering of new cards, ordering new drivers license, missed a days work to handle everything, etc. A little twist to this case is that the leads, and video from the various stores are matching up to be our new neighbors adult sons who still live at home. Talk about an uncomfortable living situation.
Thank you!
