My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
I commited credit card fraud, Dumb, stupid I dont kow what came over me I guess I was desperate. I spent about 965.00 . I feel horrible, I did a terrible thing and feel so badly about this. I did not blow the money but spent it on items needed. household Food, gas etc..But cannot take the guilt of what I ahve done. I assume I will be caught also. I am sure the person got a call from the credit card comp. about all the charges which probally were not normal. So I am just assuming it has been reported, well if police get video she will know me, not by name but face and can get my name.
I took all I could back and want to return what I think i spent, 1 lawyer out of the 10 i contacted emailed back and said for a fee he will try to return the money to her with a letter from me without my identity being known.He will call her and set up an appt wiht her saying he has property to be returned to her and see if she will accpet it. Now if she does not pursue charges will the police? will I be arrested?
I just need to do whats right and giviing the money back in the amount of the charges is he right thing to do, and of course i am scared to death now over the punishment also.What is a first time offense for this kind of crime? I also have a child to care for and no family to help, I cannot go to jail.
Am I going about this the right way? I cannot afford this attorney of charges are pressed against me , his retainer is way to high.
