- I presume the $2000 charge has already appeared on the card. If not, she
- is in luck. RUN, do not walk, to the nearest mailbox with a letter stating
- what happened and that you are refusing to pay the charge.
-
- Even if she has already ponied up the $2000, I don't think it's too late.
- But you will have to move fast and tell the credit card folks what happened.
- Good luck!
