Default Fraudulent Charges on Charge Card
Recently i made a stupid mistake. My friend lent me his University of Delaware id to swipe a load of laundry. Good and done i gave him the card back. But like an idiot i decided to write down his numbers and ended up ordering $240 within a few weeks through the university food system. I am 18 yrs of age and this would be my first time offense. I would like to know what I am looking at.

Also he told everyone on my res floor that he found out he lost the money and called the university police who are now doing an investigation. I am pretty sure that they will be able to determine it was me so i wrote a letter to my friend asking for his forgiveness not to press charges and paying him back the amount which was taken. I am very scared that the police will come find me and arrest me. I don't know what to do. Please help ASAP

Default Concern About Charges
So at this point, your friend has a letter indicating that you were the one who made the charges and refunding the money, and the police are investigating but no charges have been filed?

I ended working it out with my friend and he told the police he had a mix up with his roomate so he never pressed charges and i never got arrested, but if he pressed charges what would have happened

Default Unauthorized Use of Financial Transaction Device
Specific charges vary by state, and even case-by-case, but the misuse of somebody else's financial transaction device is often charged as a felony.
