Re: credit card borrowing

Tell your friend to hire a lawyer for "borrowing" a credit card on which she presumeably is not an authorized user.

By the way, another term commonly used for "credit card borrowing" is theft.

Re: credit card borrowing

If your friend really borrowed the card with the owner's permission, then your friend has nothing to worry about. In any other event, the law enforcement authorities may decide to prosecute your friend. An attorney could check with the courts or with the state's attorney's office in the county this took place to see if there is anything going on.
