Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

corporate credit card

2 years ago I left Starbucks on good terms. When I left I turned in all of my company ''stuff'' over the the HR manager and my assistant. I turned in all of my credit card reciepts to my assistant and she was to reconsile them as she did each month. 2 weeks after I left she also left ( I was told) and my corporate card did not get turned in. After I did a bunch of research I was able to find most of the reciepts they asked for. After I turned this all in, as they asked, they are questioning one charge, that I did find the reciept for, but have always mantained that I did not charge this. It was for $1800.00 and when I gave them the reciept, it says my old assistants name on the charge. (my credit card, but she call the company and made the $1800.00 charge. ) Starbucks is saying I am responsible for this charge even though I know nothing about it and have always said this. I now have a credit company sending me letters and calling, how do I end this.

Re: corporate credit card

You should continue to deny in writing all responsibility for this particular charge and in accord with your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, you should demand within 30 days that the collection agent provide written proof of their claim. (A receipt with your name linked to the charge.)

And, of course, if you have the means to contact

your old assistant, you should do so and request that she makes things right with respect to this particular charge which she purportedly made.
