Am I a victim of Credit Card Fraud?
***IF IT WOULD HELP, I CAN FORWARD AN EMAIL OF THE COPY OF THE AGREEMENT!! JUST ASK!!***
Long story short, I live on a boat at a marina, and they haven't been keeping track of my payments. I get an email from the main guy at the marina office OCT 01, around 10pm saying I was past due for Sep and still owe the security deposit of $433.
I said no, I am not, and sent him a copy of my bank statement from Sep showing I made my payment on SEP 04. He emails me back and says I will look into this further and get back to you.
Fast forward to this past Friday, I'm having dinner with my wife and go to pay and the waitress comes back telling me my card was declined. I know that's not right, so I go on my phone and check my bank account, and the marina took out $1000 with my card info that they keep on file without as much as even contacting me through email or phone.
Their is only one section of my lease that makes me worry they were allowed to do this and it goes as follows;
"Boat owner must provide a valid credit card and authorization for license fees due under this license agreement."
It seems very vague to me, and I just want another opinion. A professional opinion would be nice
I can't figure out how to save the copy of my agreement to post on here, but if someone thinks they can help clarify what the above statement means, it would help a lot and I can forward you the email of the agreement!!
As of right now I'm waiting for it to leave the "pending status" on my bank account so I can call and report it as fraud. I'm gonna get this greedy bastard for all I can. In the state of South Carolina, Financial Transaction Card Fraud is a Federal Felony and it will be treated as such, if I have the case.
Thanks in advance!!
