Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
Yes, although you have no obligation to pay unauthorized charges on your credit card (I'm assuming that you did not authorize this person to use your card), just as you have no obligation to honor a forged check, and thus should have no damages. If for some reason you do have to pay those charges, you can sue to recover what you pay. Either way, you can press criiminal charges against the thief.
