Forgot to charge their Credit Card!

[blondie53185]

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

Back in May, I received a credit card authorization slip from a client but forgot to put the charge through. It is now September, can I still put the charge through? Is there a statute of limitations on this? Do you know where I can find the actual citing of the law?

Thank you,

Why don't you call the client and discuss the matter with them. If you put the charge through you are opening yourself up to a chargeback and one ticked off customer.

But really, is there such a statute that would still allow or disallow the charge?

Not sure of any statute that would prevent it but your merchants agreement might have an issue with it. Contact your merchant advisor and ask them if they have a problem with it.

It depends if the customer received services from you or your business that they believed had to be paid in order for them to receive any services. If you provided a service for fee under legal law you can accept the payment.

from the first post:

the client had made the attempt to pay them. It is not like OP is charging the card for a debt not specifically authorized by the client.
