I have a credit card that was expired and I was paying it off. I had it almost completely paid off. I realized that I never got a new card in the mail but I didn't worry about it because I just wanted to pay off the card and be done with it and didn't want a new card to temp me to make purchases on it. Well today when I was paying my credit card bill I noticed about 200 dollars worth of charges. I knew immediately that my mom must have gotten ahold of my new card because she lived with us for a few months and all the charges were to the gas station she works at and the grocery store my brother works at in a city that I never even go to. So I called my mom up and after lying at first she finally admitted that she had taken it but that my sister in law had been the one to use it. Now I don't know what to do. Part of me thinks I should call the police on her but the other part of me is conflicted because she has three kids which are my adorable nephews and I don't want them to arrest her and it cause a lot of problems....but I'm just livid!!! I can't trust my family at all....what would you do if you were in my shoes?

Try to resolve it without the courts first. If she pays up, try to forgive and forget and keep your cards out of her reach in the future. If she refuses to make ammends with this, I would probably consider pressing charges. Then she not only stole your card, but she refuses to make it right - showing that she has no remorse for her actions.
