Is it a misdemeanor or felony?
My child an adult lives at my house this child intercepted a credit card which came through the mail and activated it and made 15 charges on it and only stopped using it when it was maxed out. Lucky for me the credit limit was very small $700 . I called it in to the police now I've heard rumors that ea of those 15 charges is considered a new crime so my child will have 15 counts against her. Then I heard each count (charge) is a felony, even the lowest one $1.59.
So will there be 15 counts against her, will they be misdemeanors or felonies? Even though I called in the police report and I called the police to come to one of the merchants, where she used the card I haven't given them any more information once I heard that ea charge is a separate count, and that they could be felonies. So if I pay the card off what could happen to her?
15 misdemeanors, 15 felonys
I asked this ques. Last week and received one answer which was somewhat ambiguous because I did not tell where I live so now I will clarify I live in Orange County, California. A credit card came in my mail for me; my adult child who lives with me intercepted the card and activated it. They made 15 charges on it and than it was maxed out. It had a small limit $700. I called it in to the police now I've heard rumors that each of those 15 charges are considered a separate offense. Than I heard each count (charge) is a felony, even the lowest one $1.59.
So will there be 15 counts against her, will they be misdemeanors or felonies? Even though I called in the police report and I called the police to come to one of the merchants, where she used the card I haven't given them anymore information once I heard that ea. charge is a separate count, and that they could be felonies.
