    printer friendly version

    Question: I am being charged with credit card fraud but have no record, is it possible to get probation?

    Answer: Yes. Most often, first time criminal offenders are placed on probation for their crime. The exceptions to this are crimes that involve the death or serious physical injury of the victim or crimes in which the defendant used a weapon, such as a gun or knife. Credit card fraud does not fall under these exceptions and typically, the prosecutor will offer a plea agreement that will place the defendant on probation. Even if the defendant is convicted at trial, however, the judge is likely to place a defendant on probation if he does not have any prior criminal record.

    I turned myself in for credit card fraud.  I used a card that I found for about $2150.00.  I admited to everything- this is my first offense. Plus I'm in the military. What do you think will happen?

    Hi everyone I have something really important to ask. I was arrested for Disorderly conduct but havent been charged guilty... Well anyways I stole some checks from my uncle resulting in about 2,500 dollars. I can pay it back before my court but along with that my dad gave me a credit card to use and i spent alot of money on it when i maxed it out at 9,000 he turned me in and said i stole his credit card..he also gave me his social sec number and stuff so if i had problems i could call the card company.. im on house arrest now will i go back to jail or leave me on house arrest
