Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Wrongful Credit Card Charges

I purchased airline tickets for myself and my son, in person. I used two different credit cards and told the lady what amount to put on each credit card. She said she did it provided a receipt with the correct amounts, and I thought I was done. I found out one of my credit cards was way over the limit, come to find out that the receipts they gave me were false and they actually charged things incorrectly as well. They did not put enough on one credit card, and put too much on the other. I did not receive a receipt for what was actually charged nor did I sign or give permission for doing that over charge on the one credit card. Since I do have receipts stating my tickets are paid for do I have to go back and pay the additional amount that they put on the wrong credit card and could they be held accountable for fraud since they applied charges that they were not given permission to do. Thank you and I look forward to a response.

Re: Wrongful Credit Card Charges

Did they just apply the wrong tickets to the wrong cards, or did they charge additional items you did not receive to your credit cards? The first situation is probably just a mistake, and you should be able to correct it with a letter to the airline showing the mistake, and asking for a refund of the overcharge penalty ($35?). If the employee stole from you by charging items to your card that you did not receive, then report it to the airling, the credit card company and the police.
