[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 729907, member: 22877"] That's how I handled a similar situation with my son, the main difference being that he was a juvenile with no way of making the payments. Fortunately it was a small amount, around $20. He knew without a doubt that any future incidents would result in me calling the police, which would mean a felony on his record. At the time he had ambitions of going into the military, and even a juvenile felony offense would disqualify him. At any rate, to my knowledge he never again took or used my card(s) without my permission. He did a lot of other stuff but that's for another discussion. I also think you are probably right about having to make the payments should the daughter stop making them herself. If there is a way to prove she used your card fraudulently you might be able to take her to civil court, but I'm not sure how that works. Good luck with everything and I'm crossing my fingers that your daughter keeps to her end of the bargain for everyone's sake. [/QUOTE]
