I am charged with credit card fraud in IL. The amount was about $500 and the transaction was stopped before the item was shipped. This is my first offense. What can I expect in sentence really?

I lost my driver’s license a little while back and learned today that someone’s been using my credit card(I never lost my credit card, I still have it in my wallet) in another faraway state. My question is, can my lost driver’s license be related to this credit card incident? I am planning on replacing my license ASAP, but I need all the info I can get on this matter. I’m so stressed out, please help!

Sweetie asked:


Two people used my credit cards without my consent. I filed a police report and they were arrested and jailed for 7 weeks. Their hearing is on Jan. 14 and I want to drop the charges even though they already confessed to everything. I was told that as long as I filed a police report I was OK. If I drop the charges now will my credit be ruined or is it still fraud?

Troy F asked:


Recently at work we had a customer use a pre-paid credit card to purchase about $300 of product. The card was manually entered into the system, which it was also accepted and charged. We have the persons name and signature, but they are disputing the use of the card and the $300 they spent. The company sees this as my fault and has taken corrective action on me and is planning to take the money out of my paycheck? Is that legal?
