I have used someones credit card details, and they want to press charges.?

looking for the left eye

Hopefully you will go to jail. Thief!

Sounds like you should be talking to your lawyer.

Rob

They will arrest you, or you will go in on your own. They will sit you down and ask you lots of questions and/or the case is strong enough to take you to court without anything from you. You will go before a judge, sent to jail until you make bail. Then you will go home and wait for a trial. At trial the community will watch you and the lawyers fight it out and bring out all the evidence.

Sentencing could be anything from state prison, to county pokey, to picking up garbage on the side of the road in an orange jump suit. Then everytime you go for a job, apartment, credit app, type deal you will have that arrest and conviction on your record and have to explain why you thought it was alright to steal from someone who works for a living.

They probably will come early in the morning (3am to 5am) to assure you are home and most likely sleeping. You probably will get 3-5 years for credit card fraud, unless you used it out of state (like over the internet) in which case it is a federal offense and you will probably be looking at 5-7 years.

You will be charged with FRAUD!
and how the process will start and end depends on each state..

Why do you sound so surprised?
You have broken the law & got caught doing it.....
You are part of the reason why everything cost so much these days

It is a criminal offence and breach of trust, and an offender has to face punishment under the law which may include a fine and imprisonment for a short duration, depending on the gravity of the offence!

You should never ever indulge in such a thing as misusing credit card details of someone amounts to total breach of trust people have in the system!

King of Babylon

You are going to be prosecuted for a few things. One theft, if you stole the card. Two: Fraud, using someone else's credit card. Then, the punishment will vary for the amount. Three, If it was me you did that to I'd beat you to death.

Weatherman

Oh I hope they lock you up.

ball_cathie

Well that was a silly thing to do, you will probably get a custodial for theft. oops

Clown Knows

Happy face. ;-) Good

I think I would have thought about all this before I STOLE someones credit card info. What were you thinking?

Barking mad

If you are in the UK, you will probable not even go to court. If you do, with no previous convictions, you will get a smack on the wrist and told to behave.

Conviction on Credit Card Fraud

U.S.C. Title 18, Section 3056, Subsection (b), specifically authorizes the United States Secret Service to detect and arrest any person who violates federal criminal laws relating to credit card fraud and related activity in connection with computers and/or access devices.

go to jail do not pass go.

Jackie B

You are not the very bright Criminal... If you have committed this crime ...SHAME ON YOU....

WHY O WHY would you openly announce - on the internet - IN WRITING of this.

World's Dumbest Criminals Show...Here's one for you!

Stuartyboy

I think you should be hung drawn and quartered. I too have been a victim of people trying to rip me off by using my card so if you're guilty the police will be coming and it's not a moment too soon.

Dark_Mushroom

depending on what country you are in, I would turn yourself in now.

Its fraud so in the UK maximum 5 years i think

but depends how much you stole, and if you have previous convictions. If you only spent a small amount and agree to pay the person back chances are just a fine and a bit community service in the UK that is

Prison hopefully.

Depending on if you can prove that you were given permission to use those details then you will be going to court. The police will most likely set a warrant for your arrest. The best policy is to hire a lawyer, be honest with him/her and turn yourself in. If you are lucky it will be what they call a walk through. Then your charges will be set and your lawyer should be able to get you out the same day. Once this is done you will wait for a court date to be set up and your lawyer will contact you. When that happens you will go to court and if this is your first offense you may only be looking a probation depending on amount and offenses. If this is not your first offense and you charged over a certain amount (Depending on your states laws vr's federal laws) you might be looking from 1-2 years State Jail (Day for Day) or you may be looking at 2-10 yrs Prison or Federal (which may have a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1) All depends on the case. But first thing first get a Lawyer and never ever ever do this again. It hurts the thief more then it hurts the person you did this too. Remember everything you do comes back 10 fold. So expect everything you did to that person to come back 10 fold.

Monkey Harris

You are a thief and you should get everything that is coming to you.

cognoscible

Yes, any day now, you won't know when or where, stress, pressure, no relaxation.

Better give yourself up before they get there, it'll look better for you

Probably 5 years max sentence (may be reduced to community service especially if you give your self up and plead guilty) depending on whether you're in the Crown court or magistrates. And also depends on whether this is a first offence.

Now don't do it again!!!!!

big g

Fraud is the key word.

Also theft maybe included aswell.

Have a happy life in prison.Make sure you take some vaseline with you (in case you drop your soap in the shower)

Lou

The police take this kind of fraud very seriously now....Oh well, you deserve whatever punishment you do get

proud mom of 2 girls

I have been a victim of identity theft, so my answer is not that nice. If it were me, I'd cut your hands off to make sure you couldn't steal anything ever again, but that's just me. I hope you do prison time since you don't even sound remorseful for the hideous crime you committed.

Flagbearer

one day they will come for you, if you used someone elses card details, I'd have the police smashing the door in, and I'd want a refund in cash on what you spent, coming out of your own pocket!! What were you thinking!!?? One day soon, they will come for you, could be tomorrow, could be today, could be in the middle of the night, or when you least expect it, beware, they are watching you!!! THIEF!!!!
