    Fraud Charge & Credit card payments.
    Hi everyone,

    I had been reading this site for a while now, and lately I had been in trouble with a so-called car rentel company in Vancouver, BC. To make the store short, I will just point form my stories:

    *I live in Edmonton, AB which is 10 hours drive away from Vancouver, BC
    *2006 Sept 01. Rented a BMW M5 for 3 days under this company in vancouver, because
    *the car rental charge was 800 CAD/day plus 20,000 deposit.
    *2006 sept 03. Car returned at the airport, and left my vacation back to Edmonton, AB. Deposit was issued back with a cheque to clear one month after.
    *2006 Oct, 20,000 deposit was cleared.
    *2007 Apr, the merchant charged 12,000 on my card for no reason.
    *2007 Apr, called back to my CC company for prove of my purchase
    *2007 May, the merchat provided my bank a "doctored" lease agreemen for 6 month + 3 dayst!
    *2007 Aug, I provided my bank the original 3days lease agreement, however they do not believe it. I just got back from my vacation in Asia.
    *2008 now, I have heard many fellows in Vancouver who actually lease cars with this company had their cars taken away due to they are not licensed car lease company.
    *2008 now, many people had been suing him for this merchant's lease scam, but he had decleared bankerupcy, and nothing is under this owner's name, however, he drives lambo everyday!
    *2008 now, my CC bank is going after me for this 12,000 payment, and I do not want to pay it, I have switched my bank to other ones.
    *at this point I do not believe there is a point to sue the merchant since he is decleared bankerupcy.

    So what should I really do? I am so mad that my CIBC VISA had been treated me like a thief, never had any bad record in my life, but my bank had pined me on this one, I am not making any payment on that 12,000 CAD, because it was not MINE! No one from my bank want to help but getting their money back! I know they will sue me for this charge, and I am going to fight with them till the end!

    Any advise? Really really sorry about my story... :(

    Ps, I was paying the min payment, but I have stopped a few month ago, today I just checked my credit report online, its showing 120 days late...

    Send a certified copy of your receipt from when you turned the car in to the bank/credit card company.

    The car loan agency would then have to prove that you rented it a second time - which you did not do.

    That will end it - you will prove you returned it and on the date you did so.

    They didn't give you a receipt when you turned in the car? Well, I can see why the credit card company might think you had it the whole time.

    I don't know you could fight this. I'm sure they think a friend could have had it, you could have hidden it, who knows, but there's the problem - I don't see that you have proof you brought it back, for God's sake.
