Credit card fraud can be devastating, resulting in massive debt and destroyed credit. In addition, victims of credit card fraud spend an average of 175 hours and more than $800 setting the record straight. Credit card fraud is nothing new, but the Internet means that only your card number is needed. Credit card fraud can be committed by anyone who can access your information, including businesses.

A recent example: credit card fraud by JK Publications netted $43 million from unauthorized online charges. Thousands of victims of this credit card fraud reported that they were charged for online products and services they never ordered. Of these credit card fraud victims, almost half did not own a computer or never used their card online. Such credit card fraud is possible because businesses can purchase card information lists, including numbers and expiration dates. This credit card fraud takes advantage of a system intended to protect merchants from credit card fraud themselves-the list is intended to verify who is authorized to use the cards.

Credit card fraud consisting of small charges on a large number of cards can often go undetected. Reporting credit card fraud can be costly and time-consuming, and many companies penalize customers for "chargebacks" (reversing the costs credit card fraud incurs on your account). In addition, federal law states that victims of credit card fraud can only sue credit-reporting agencies within two years of the credit card fraud being committed. Credit card fraud, if uncontested, can prevent you from receiving home and car loans due to damaged credit.

Credit card fraud is often complicated to contest, but if you have an attorney who is familiar with credit card fraud, the benefits are well worth the time and effort spent fighting the guilty parties.
