what can a credit card company do in small claims court?

Generally, they don't mess with suing you unless they know they can win, and they know they can collect.  This is especially true if you owe them more then $500.\n\nWhen they win, they will garnish your wages, or place liens on your property, repo it, and sell it.  \n\nThe game is up, they have called your bluff.  Time to contact the creditor and work out some sort of payment plan.

If you owe a credit card company money, they CAN and WILL sue you to recover their losses. There are horror stories of people losing homes and automobiles because a family member charged too much on credit cards that couldn't be paid for.

Look for a civil suit attorney.  They deal with contracts, small claims, etc...

Probably not, but here is what I do..when I get credit card stuff in the mail, I take my name off it, stuff and the crap back in the return envelope and send it to the company, they have to pay the postage on it. A minor victory for us small guys...ha ha...

Your Department of Fair Trading & Consumer Affairs are the first point of contact.  Next, you can try the Small Claims Tribunal and also check with the Public Prosecutions Office what sort of cases they will handle.  Good Luck.

I would file a small claims suit.\n\nCoach

Yep. Small claims. They will have to show up and they probably do not have the time so usually just the threat of court will be enough.  If they don't show, you win automatically.  I took my landlord to court and it was very satisfying to see him squirm in front of the judge.  That was worth more than the money he had to pay me!

It depends on where you live.  However most small claims courts do not allow suits for punitive damages.  You have a case, however you will most likely only receive the amount you paid for the pictures.

Small claims court is designed to be somewhat informal but there still must be a legitimate legal basis for any claim that is made.\n\nThe cell phone issues seems quite reasonable and if you can demonstrate she has routinely been paying 1/3 of the charges a court will very likely accept that as adequate proof of the agreement.\n\nThe loss of wages issue is a different matter. There is no legal basis for holding a party liable for the loss of wages that are incurred by the plaintiff while prosecuting a lawsuit.\n\nA small suggestion is that you tone down your rhetoric in the complaint and while in court. Using words like "malicious" is questionable and won't win you any points with a judge.

Read the Fair Credit Protection Act.\n\nI've posted the portion that relates to your question.  Since you intiated the business transaction by calling them, they can technically pull your credit report.  About all you can do to prevent it is demand up front that they do not pull a report until you actually agree to do business with them. \n\nSince they have nothing in writing from you, it may be possible to pursue this.  It would be possible to this the inquiry removed from your report.  You could push it with the court, but I don't think it will go very far.\n\nGood luck

Call your credit card company.

It is illegal for a company or business to "copy" your credit card.  If a company asks to do so, I wouldn't do business at that company....they are probably going to try and scam you!

Depending on the amount, either small claims court or district court.

If the amount in dispute is relatively small, you can also check out Small Claims courts (sometimes called Municipal courts in some states).\n\nGenerally, neither party has an attorney, and the court listens to both sides and looks at available evidence, before reaching a reasonable conclusion. It's a much less expensive and must less time-consuming way to resolve simple disputes.\n\nBut if the issues are complex, competent legal advice from a licensed attorney is always a good idea.
