Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
Hello I have a question. Ten years ago when complete a credit application that was in my grandmothers name, I also use the card. She was not aware of it until after the fact. She does not want to file charge but the card still has an outstanding debt. Can I be charge for fraud or is there a statue of limitations.

Possibly. The statute of limitations doesn't start running until the last time you used it. Further, it is five years for theft and fraud cases.
